School Meals

 
Free School Meals
 
Lockdown Arrangements January 2021
 
There has been no announcement from the government that they will be issuing FSM vouchers for eligible families at this moment. 
 
In the absence of vouchers, the school is able to provide weekly food parcels for FSM pupils during the lockdown period- if you are eligible for FSM and would like a food parcel, please telephone the school to arrange a collection. 
 

Those parents who think they are eligible for free meals should visit the Free School Meals Checking Service at http://www.link2ict.org/fsm.

Alternatively, contact the administration team at the school office. You will then be given the appropriate form to complete, and be required to provide written evidence before free meals can be granted.

Packed Lunches
We have a lunchbox policy to encourage healthy choices for all children in the school. All food served in school is governed by legislation and it is therefore important to adopt the same approach for food brought from home.
 
A good lunchbox should include at least one portion of fruit and at least one portion of vegetables each day. Meat, fish or other source of non-dairy protein should also be included in your child's lunchbox each day.
 
Drinks provided should either be water, semi-skimmed or skimmed milk, or yoghurt drinks.
 
Please have a look at the leaflet below for further information regarding our lunchbox policy.
Halal Meat
 
All meat served at the school is certified Halal and accredited by HMC.
 
The current provider details are:

Spice Time, 254 Summer Lane, Birmingham, West Midlands, B19 2PX

Spice Time meat and poultry is Red Tractor assured which is the UK's leading scheme for food quality and traceability. Halal accreditation is via the Halal Monitoring Committee UK and they have a representative of HMC on their premises at all times, ensuring the high standard required for halal.
