School Meals

School meals follow Lancashire County Council menus and are payable via ParentPay.  Lunches are currently charged at £3.00 (correct at Sept 2026).  Children in Reception, Years 1 and 2 are entitled to government-funded meals (Universal Infant Free School Meals).  Those children in Nursery are charged at £3.00 as it is not a maintained setting. 

Free school meals are offered to children of families who are in receipt of:

• Universal Credit with yearly household earnings of £7,400 or less (Targeted FSM)
• Families receiving Universal Credit with earnings above £7,400 (Expanded FSM)
• Support under part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
• The guaranteed element of State Pension Credit
• Income related Employment and Support Allowance

From September 2026 all households receiving Universal Credit, regardless of household income, will qualify for free school meals.
