The school provides cooked meals which are provided by Mellors Catering on site which are served in the KS1 dining hall.
All meals are nutritionally balanced and children have the choice of two options daily; there is always a vegetarian option. There is an extensive salad bar and fresh bread basket which children can help themselves to daily. Water is always readily available alongside the fruit juice or milk option offered that day. The menu rotates on a three-week basis and parents are given a copy to enable choices to be made. We encourage our children to decide on which cooked meals they would like each week and ask for parents to pay for the meals on Monday morning.
All children in Key Stage 1 are entitled to a free hot school dinner. We encourage all parents to check if your child is eligible for free school meals. To do so, please visit the Cheshire East website here. Children may bring packed lunches if they prefer but we ask parents not to give sweets or fizzy drinks as part of the lunch. All children in Key Stage 1 are provided with a free piece of fruit at morning playtime.
The current daily charge for a meal is £2.85.
Free School Meals
Are you eligible?
From September 2026, eligibility for free school meals will be extended to all households receiving Universal Credit.
Additionally, the current rules that protect free school meal eligibility are only in place until the end of the 2025/2026 school year. This means that if your child becomes eligible for free school meals based on your family's benefits during this time, they will keep getting free meals until the end of the school year even if your family’s income goes up or your situation changes. Starting from the 2026/2027 school year, these protections will end. At that point, only families who meet the updated eligibility rules will be able to get free school meals.
Both of these changes mean we strongly encourage all families to check your eligibility, even if you have done so previously.
Applications open on 1 August 2026 via the Cheshire East portal: Free school meals
Registering for free school meals provides your child with a healthy meal each day and also brings additional funding to the school which helps us to provide extra support and resources.
