Universal Infant Free School Meals (UIFSM)
All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a free school meal thanks to the Government Universal Infant Free School Meals (UIFSM) scheme. UIFSM must be applied for when your child starts school; it is the same online application as income-based free school meals (please see below for link).
Free School Meals
Parents claiming income support or job-seeker’s allowance which is income-based are encouraged to apply for free meals as receipt can mean further funding for the family and the school. Please follow this link to apply: Online FSM Application (cloudforedu.org.uk)
Lunches are ordered daily at morning registration. Children can sit anywhere in the hall. There are two hot choices each day. Salad, fruit and water is served with meals.
Healthy Packed Lunches
If your child would prefer, they can bring their own healthy packed lunch and drink in a named and sealed container. Children can combine lunch packs on some days, school dinners on others. We do request that packed lunches do not containfizzy drinks, bars of chocolate or sweets. For some great tips and inspiration for healthy lunch boxes, have a look at these sites:

Playtime
All children are supervised by lunchtime playleaders both whilst eating their lunch and afterwards in the playground. During wet playtimes children are supervised in their classrooms and can choose from a selection of games generously provided by the PTFA. If children wish to go outside on a wet day and have wet weather gear in school, then this is arranged.
