Our school meals are cooked on the premises by our fantastic kitchen staff. The school dinners follow a three-weekly cycle. Please look through to see if your child would enjoy any of the meals on offer. They can choose each day if they would like a school cooked meal or to bring in their homemade sandwiches. 

School Lunch Menu:

 

All pupils in Wales primary schools are entitled to a school dinner for free. This is regardless of your income or situation. This is called Universal Free School Meal or uFSM for short. 

IT IS VITAL THAT ALL PARENTS AND CARERS UNDERSTAND THAT uFSM IS NOT THE SAME AS eFSM.

Eligible Free School Meals (eFSM) is the 'free school meals' benefit and support that families can still receive. 

Eligible Free School Meal families, or eFSM, children are entitled to support for things such as school uniform or school trips. Every child/family that receives the eFSM support will not be singled out or highlighted in any way.

The funding received by the school for each child that has secured eFSM support is around £1000 per year. This money is absolutely vital to schools and can mean the difference between having and not having staff at school.
