School Lunches

All children in Foundation stage and Key Stage 1 are entitled to a free school meal. However, it is important that Parents/ Carers complete the form which can be downloaded using the link below as this will ensure pupil premium funding is allocated to the school.

If you think you are entitled to free school meals you need to apply to Somerset Council online as soon as possible as it can take some time to process and is not backdated. (A copy of the form can be downloaded using the link below). If you require help in completeing this form please pop into the office.

Packed Lunches

If your child has a packed lunch, please provide a clearly labelled lunch box and put the drink in a plastic container (no glass bottles). As we are committed to healthy eating we do not allow sweets, chocolates or fizzy drinks.

Nut-Free Policy

Just a reminder to parents that we are a “nut free” school because we have children who are allergic to nuts, which is a life threatening condition. We do not use nuts in any of our food prepared on site at school.

Please can you help us to protect these children by being vigilant when providing your child with a packed lunch.

Our “Nut-Free Policy” means that the following items should not be brought into school:

  • Packs of nuts
  • Peanut butter  sandwiches
  • Pinenuts
  • Fruit and cereal bars that contain nuts
  • Chocolate spread/chocolate products that contain nuts e.g. Nutella
  • Sesame seed rolls (children allergic to nuts may also have a severe reaction to sesame)
  • Cakes made with nuts

 I thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation. 

Popcorn

Please do not send your child into School/Nursery with popcorn in their lunch box as they are a choking hazard for children under five years old. Popcorn is a hard food that can easily get stuck in a child’s throat.

Milk Scheme

Our school has a school milk scheme (Cool Milk) and every child in our School is offered low fat milk everyday.

If your child is lactose intolerant please contact the office to discuss alternatives. 

Cool Milk – Under 5 Free Milk Provider

Free milk is available for all children aged under five in school, funded by the UK government. In our school, this milk is provided by Cool Milk, the UK’s leading school milk supplier. We will register your child for their free school milk on your behalf, once permission is obtained on the Parental Consent Form, by providing Cool Milk with the information listed above.

School fruit and vegetable scheme (Government Scheme)

This entitles to all the children including Nursery to be offered a piece of fruit at break time every day.
