Free school meals for all children in reception, year 1 and 2 All children in reception and years one and two are entitled to free meals as part of the Government’s new Universal Infant Free School Meal. This is worth up to £418 per year per child - please talk to your child’s school for more details. Plus if you receive certain benefits or have a household income below the Government threshold register your entitlement with your area education office. Your child’s school can receive extra funding called the ‘Pupil Premium’ which is sometimes worth £1,320 per pupil to the school. Can I claim free school meals for my older children? Yes you can if you are on certain benefits. Just ring your local Area Education Office with details of your name, date of birth and National Insurance number and they will let you know if you are eligible.

The Catering Mark assurance for healthy, local, and ethically sourced food Your School’s catering service has been awarded the prestigious Catering Mark in recognition of the fresh and healthy meals it serves in schools and care homes. We champion local food and suppliers including yoghurts from Longridge, free range eggs from Leyland and beef, poultry and seasonal fresh vegetables from across Lancashire. We also use organic rice, pasta, flour and milk. Over 80% of meals are freshly prepared from unprocessed ingredients and meals contain no undesirable food additives or Tran’s Fats. All fresh and cooked meat and poultry products satisfy U.K farm assurance standards. No genetically modified ingredients are used and neither is any fish served from the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) ‘fish to avoid’ list.
Special diets and allergies Special diets are diets for pupils with a medically diagnosed requirement; not just a dislike of certain foods or food groups. It is our policy to provide a service for those pupils with medically diagnosed food allergies, food intolerances or a medical condition which affects eating requirements. Please contact your school office in the first instance to inform them of your child’s requirements. For further information regarding allergens and special diets, please visit www.servinglancashire.org.uk

All menus are planned to comply with the standards for school food and all new dishes are tested by children. By popular demand, the menu for this autumn and winter also features two roast lunches each week. There’s always fresh fruit and salad, homemade bread and locally produced fruit yoghurt available daily and where schools require one, a filled baked potato or hot sandwich.

Menu
Serving fantastic lunches everyday
Whilst every effort is made to produce the published menus, please note that they may vary occasionally subject to availability and individual school requirements. All our menus are checked using a recognised programme to analyse nutrition. We also work with Lancashire Healthy Schools and support the Change 4 Life campaign. The result is a menu your child will enjoy and that will prepare them for learning in the afternoon.
