Free School Meals
Some children from Nursery onwards are eligible for free school meals status. It is important to register for free school meal status with Central Bedfordshire Council as you may be entitled to additional support. If your child prefers packed lunches, there is a packed lunch (or Deli) option at school. If you think you might be eligible, please call Central Bedfordshire Council on 0300 300 8306.
