School Meal Information

Evolve - Online Meal Ordering and Payment System

We use the Evolve electronic system in school which allows parents / carers and children to choose their meal options at home. It is quick and easy to register an account with easy access from a mobile phone, PC or tablet.

The system allows parents see how dishes are made, which ingredients are used, and nutrition and allergy content before placing an order and, parents are also in control of allergy and dietary information. This helps our kitchen staff to ensure that children get the dish of their choice and in line with their needs. 

All school meals must be ordered and paid for through this system. We ask that orders are placed at least a week in advance to allow our cook to order the right amount of food to meet our children's needs. Orders can be placed weeks ahead. This helps to reduce food waste and costs to school.

Free School Meal Entitlement

At present, all children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 will automatically receive a Universal Free School Meal and part of the Government's initiative. However; if you are currently claiming one of the eligible benefits, or your household income is below the Government's threshold, then it is extremely important that you still complete an application form. 

From September 2026, the Department for Education has made some changes to the way that Free School Meals are allocated. All families and children will need to be rechecked to ascertain whether they can still receive this entitlement. 

Please click the link below or scan the QR code. This will take you to an online form where you can enter your details which will enable a check to take place. You will need to enter your Name, Date of Birth and National Insurance details.

If you feel that your child is entitled to free school meals please use this link to apply: FSM Application Website

School meals are currently charged at £13.00 per week (£2.60 per day) and can be taken for a full week or Adhoc if arranged with the school office.

 

We are fortunate enough to have access to fantastic up-to-date kitchen facilities. As a school, we work closely with the Local Kitchen team to devise a school meal menu which best suits the needs of our children. Each day we have at least 2 hot options alongside sandwich options. 

 

Dietary requirements

If your child has any food allergies or requires a special diet please contact us so we can arrange a meeting with a member of the Local Kitchen team to look at how these needs can be accommodated within school.  Please click below to see our information relating to allergens -
