School lunches

Our school meals are freshly cooked on site by specialist catering company Edwards and Ward. They offer meals focused on fresh, nutritious and healthy food that complies with government standards. Their menus are child-friendly, with options for special diets due to allergies and intolerances. The menus are flexible and cater to the specific needs of each school, and our pupils. 

 

School Meals

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

Reception
Year 1 and
Year 2

If your child is not eligible for free school meals, they can still enjoy a hot meal for a daily cost of £3. School lunches need to be ordered and paid for via your Arbor App, or by cutting and pasting the following link into your browser page, where you can log in to your Arbor account:

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)
– Working Tax Credit run-on – paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
– 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.

Your child may also get free school meals if you get any of these benefits and your child is both:

– Younger than the compulsory age for starting school

– In full-time education

We are an allergy aware school, which means that we endeavour not to have any products containing nuts on site, and are mindful of other allergens.

Please be aware that we have children in school who have severe allergies (including but not limited to nuts), and require epipens if they come into contact with certain allergens. We ask that no products that contain nuts are brought into school, and on occasion, we may ask that you refrain from sending in other possible allergen products (for example on school trips or special events).

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