School Lunches and Free School Meals
School Lunches
Your child may have either a cooked meal prepared by ABM Catering or a packed lunch provided by you. Children in years Reception to 2 are entitled to Universal free school meals (UIFSM) from year 3 the cost of a school dinner is £2.35 per day.
School dinners must be paid for in advance, weekly or termly either online through the Parent Arbor App.
Free School Meals
Some children from Reception onwards are entitled to 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.
