Free School Meals - Why should I apply?

Free School Meals: Changes from September 2026

From September 2026, the government is expanding eligibility for Free School Meals (FSM) to include more families receiving Universal Credit. Whether your child chooses to take these meals or not, registering helps the school secure vital additional funding, which is used entirely to support disadvantaged students.

We have invested in a new, simple online platform to make this process as easy as possible. We would be very grateful if you could take two minutes to register your details.

My child already receives free school meals—do I need to do anything?

Yes. If your child currently receives free school meals—for example, because they are in Reception, Year 1, or Year 2 (Universal Infant Free School Meals), it is critical that you register via our portal to ensure there is no interruption to their provision.

What information do you need?The process is quick and simple. You will need:

• Your name and date of birth

• Contact details

• National Insurance Number (or National Asylum Seekers Number)

• Your child’s name and date of birth

• The school your child attends

How to apply

We would be very grateful if you could fill in your details on this Greenshaw Learning Trust OFSM application form (unless you have already registered), even if you believe you are not entitled to additional funding. The system re-checks details every week, and will automatically update our records if your status changes. Please note that an application must be completed for each child you have in our school.

If you would like any help with the application, you are very welcome to come into the school office, and we would be happy to assist you.

KS2 (Year 3-6) pupil meals

KS2 children (Years 3-6) can also have hot dinners which are excellent value (see our charges and remissons policy (ref: 1-012) for the current rate. The current cost will also be on your ParentPay portal where you need to logon to top up your account. Please note that your account needs to be in credit  before the meal is provided.

Please click the link below to view our current menu.

Reception Classes: We request that you complete a ‘choices’ form when your child starts school in Reception so that our catering staff can accurately predict daily dinner numbers for the first term.

Years 1-6 Classes: Will be able to choose on the day what they would like to have from the choices available on the menu. After October half term Reception children will also be able to choose on the day.

Packed lunches should be clearly named and brought in a sealed lunch box, with drinks in a screw-top plastic flask. Please provide a spoon if the lunch includes a yogurt.

We run a staggered lunchtime depending on the year group. All lunches are eaten in the school hall. Please note that bottles or cans of fizzy drink, sweets, chewing gum etc. are not permitted in school.

Healthy snacks

These can be brought in by KS2 pupils to eat at break time. Healthy snacks include fruit, vegetables or a cereal bar. Our school is part of the Government-funded School Fruit and Vegetable Scheme, which provides a free daily portion of fruit to all Reception and KS1 children. Different fruit is provided each day, e.g. apples, pears, carrots, bananas, oranges and tomatoes, depending on the season.

You will be asked to provide information about any special dietary requirements, preferences and food allergies that your child has during their Reception admission visit, or upon entry to the school if starting in later year groups.

Children will have access to water throughout the day. In Reception, children are also offered a drink of milk (up to the age of five). If you would still like your child to receive milk, once they turn five you can arrange and pay for this via the Cool Milk website: http://www.coolmilk.com
