Oliver Tomkins CofE VA Infant, Nursery and Junior Schools

Allergen list for Bread served at school - 2 and 13

From the 16th April school meals will cost £2.30 payable using our online system.  We will no longer be able to take cash for meals.  Meals will need to be paid for the day before they are required. 

Non payment is a debt. No parent would take their child to McDonalds and expect them to be given food without paying or ask them to wait until Friday for them to pay for a meal taken on Tuesday; the same applies at school.

As we run our own kitchen, if debts are incurred, then the school budget has to pay for them. This means that money which should be spent on the children’s education is used to pay for debts incurred by parents.

If the debt is not cleared, parents will be asked to take their child home or provide a packed lunch. In a case when a debt payment is not received nor a packed lunch provided, the office manager will phone the parent to ask them to come to school with the money or a packed lunch.

Remember you are entitled to free school meals if you receive:

Income-based Job Seekers' Allowance

Income-related Employment and Support Allowance

Child Tax Credit, provided they are not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190, as assessed by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs.
