Meals in School

Children can have a hot meal at school each day, which parents order online from our supplier.

Please note that our hot school meal provider is The Farm Kitchen.

Alternatively, children can bring a healthy packed lunch.  All children are encouraged to have a water bottle in school, and can access this throughout the school day.  Children in Reception and Key Stage 1 are also offered a free piece of fruit at morning playtime.  School Milk is also available - please use the information at the bottom of this page to register.

Allergen Advice for hot school meals can be found in the document at the bottom of this page. Parents/Carers are responsible for informing school if their children have any known food allergies


Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are automatically entitled to have a free hot meal.

In addition, KS2 families who are receiving the relevant benefits may also be eligible for free school meals. 


You can register to have your eligibility for Free School Meals checked automatically. This can be done by applying online through: https://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/schools-and-education/free-school-meals/

Please register, even if your child is currently receiving a free meal  because they are in Key Stage 1, as there is Pupil Premium funding available to the school for children entitled to FSM.

Our hot school lunches are prepared and cooked fresh every day by Lincolnshire company, The Farm Kitchen. They have a wonderful team, that really cares about the food they serve and the dishes all taste amazing.

  • The recipes are all goodfor-you family favourites, packed full of fresh, healthy ingredients from local producers that help support every child’s physical development and mental wellbeing.
  • Many of the vegetables come from local, Lincolnshire farmers and are grown just a few miles from their kitchens – freshly picked, in season vegetables not only taste great, they’re packed full of nutrients too.
  • Their meat is only ever from British farmers, their sausages are made by their local butcher and their baker is just a few villages away. They also buy fish from a Grimsby fishmonger.

The Farm Kitchen is based on their family-run farm in the heart of Lincolnshire and aim to inspire children to make healthy, sustainable food choices that will make a real difference to them and the world around them, now and in the future.
