Currently every child in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 will receive a free school meal, this is called Universal School Meals.
However, if you are in receipt of some benefits your child is likely to be eligible to receive free school please still apply for Free School Meals (FSM) status. This provides our school with extra funding, known as the ‘pupil premium’, for every eligible pupil who is registered. Pupil premium allows our school to further support pupils learning.
To find out if you are eligible and apply visit your local council website: Durham County Council, South Tyneside Council, Together for Children Sunderland.
Dinner money is collected on Monday morning. Please put it in a sealed envelope with the name of your child, their class and any other details. Should you wish to change arrangements, please let us know two weeks in advance.
Some families will be eligible to receive free school meals. (The office can advise you how to apply if you think you are eligible or you can apply on line at the Sunderland City website—choose Apply for It). All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a Free School Meal.
Some of our children bring a packed lunch. Please note that we do not have refrigerated storage for packed lunches and ask that you bear this in mind when considering options. We encourage pupils to bring a healthy packed lunch including a piece of fruit.
