School Meals at Chadsmead
We are proud to be able to offer our children a daily choice of a two course lunch with a drink.
We believe that the school lunchtime is a wonderful opportunity for all our children to sit down together and enjoy a healthy and tasty meal, whilst developing their social skills.
Our Catering partner, Miquill School Catering Services, ensure that every meal is cooked and served to the Department for Education’s School Food Standards. Details of these can be found at School Food Standards - Food for Life
Miquill have been awarded the Catering contract from Monday 10th June 2024. Under the new contract, the kitchen staff will remain the same and will be providing a wide range of freshly prepared meals with seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, to ensure every meal is tasty and nutritious.
Specific dietary requirements are catered for, please arrange to see the Bursar if your child has any dietary requirements.
The cost of a school dinner is £2.60 per day and is payable via Parentpay.
Every child in Reception and Years 1 and 2 is entitled to a free school meal, under the Government’s Universal Infant Free School Meal program. This is an excellent scheme which means that your child can eat a school meal every day, saving parents/carers money and time. They can choose a lighter option of a sandwich or jacket potato if they have a meal at home after school. Please encourage your child to select this option.
Children in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 may also be entitled to a free school meal if their parent/carer is in receipt of certain benefits. To apply for this please go to: https://apps2.staffordshire.gov.uk/web/fsmweb/ or come to the Office and we can apply for you. We receive additional funding based on the number of children claiming benefit related free school meals, so by successfully applying you will help to increase our budget to support your child in school.
