School Lunches & School Milk
Our School Meals
Our school meals are cooked on site and the varied menus rotate on a three weekly basis being changed completely each term to ensure the children eat plenty of variety. The menus can be found on Arbor and the downloadable documents further down this page.
To order meals for your child using Arbor, head to the Parent Portal or App. Click on Quick Actions or the main menu, then select Meals. Here, you can choose meals in advance, view past meals, and top up the meal account. If the deadline has passed, contact your school for changes.
Children can choose to have school lunches every day, a combination of days or just one day a week but we do ask parents to help them choose their daily choices for the three week rotation prior to the start of each new term to help with the smooth running of the kitchens.
We operate a coloured bands system for our school meals so that the children do not have to remember what they have ordered each day. The list of their daily choices along with the appropriate meal colour band is provided to the class teacher each morning and these will then be handed to the children at lunchtime. If they decide they don't like a certain days choice you can alter this directly on Arbor.
We also offer Special Menus throughout the year, e.g. A Bonfire Menu to try and keep the lunches interesting and varied.
Applying for Means Tested Free School Meals
We would urge you to apply for Means Tested Free School Meals if you think you might qualify, even if your child is in KS1 and currently receives universal free school meals, as this can open up a wealth of opportunities you will be eligible for and allows the school to get extra funding.
Full details can be found on the GOV.UK website and the link is below
Paying For School Meals-KS2 (Years 3 - 6)
Children in Reception, Years 1 and 2 receive Universal Free School Meals.
For Years 3, 4, 5 & 6 the price is set by Leeds City Council each September. Payment should be made through your Arbor account.
Our School Milk is provided by Cool Milk.
If your child is under five years old there is no charge for this milk, but as soon as they turn five, if they still wish to have milk, there is a registration form to fill in which can be downloaded below or alternatively at www.coolmilk.com and a small charge will be payable which is currently 27p per 189ml portion.
