Your child will be able to get free school meals at MOSPS in:

Reception class,
Year 1 and
Year 2

If you child is not eligible for free school meals, they can still enjoy a hot school meal for a daily cost of £3. School lunches are paid for via their Arbour App, and the pupil will select their preferred menu choice during morning register.

Your child may be able to get free school meals if you are in receipt of any of the following:

– Income Support
– Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
– Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
– Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
– The guaranteed element of Pension Credit
– Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)

– Universal Credit – if you apply on or after 1 April 2018 your household income must be less than £7,400 a year (after tax and not including any benefits you get)

Children who get paid these benefits directly, instead of through a parent or guardian, can also get free school meals.

– Younger than the compulsory age for starting school

– In full-time education

We are a NUT FREE school

Please be aware that we have children in school who have severe nut allergies, that require epipens if they come into contact with nuts.

Please double check all packed lunch items/snacks, ensuring that they do not contain nuts – this includes Nutella, desserts such as Battenburg and Bakewell, hummus and many cereal bars – please check ingredients before adding to your child’s packed lunch.
