Lunch Menus & Free School Meals
School Meals
All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are provided with a free school meal, regardless of their parents’ income. This is through the Universal Free School Meals Scheme.
- By choosing school meals you can rest assured that your child has a tasty and nutritious meal everyday, packed full of the goodness that meets the government’s nutritional standards for school meals.
- Our tasty school meals provide lots of choice and great variety with menus operating on a 3 week cycle
- All meat and poultry used is fresh and locally sourced and our fresh vegetables and potatoes are locally sourced and doesn’t use any preservatives, colouring or additives that are unsuitable for children
- Non meat choices are available every day and special dietary needs can be catered for.
From September 2026, the Government has expanded the Free School Meals scheme so
that all children whose parents or carers receive Universal Credit may be eligible for Free
School Meals, regardless of household earnings.
Alongside saving families potentially up to £495 per year, per child on school lunches, access
to a nutritious meal during the school day can support your child with concentration and
learning in the classroom, physical health and development, and your child’s overall well
being.
What You Need to Do:
Even if you receive Universal Credit, Free School Meals are not awarded automatically.
Parents and carers must submit an application so that eligibility can be checked and
approved.
If you think your child may be eligible, we encourage you to apply as soon as possible. You
can this by following the information on this page Free School Meals | Bradford
Council. Due to changes in the system, we would encourage all parents who believe they
are eligible to complete this form, even if they think they are already in receipt of FSM.
The price of school dinners are:
Nursery (30 hour pupils): £2.46 per day
Reception, Year 1 & 2: Free under the Universal Free School Meals Scheme
Years 3, 4, 5 & 6: £2.66 per day.
