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.
If you your child requires an individual special diet menu, please find information on how to apply for one here.
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 following the link, where you can log in to your Arbor account:
A child is eligible for free school meals (from Key Stage 2) if their parent or carer receives one or more of the following benefits:
* 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 are not also entitled to Working Tax Credit, and have an annual gross income, of no more than £16,190 as assessed by His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (Parents who are made redundant or start working less that 16 hours per week, may find their children are entitled to free meals for a limited period.)
*Working Tax Credit run-on – paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
* Universal Credit (before September 2026 provided you have an annual net earned income of no more than £7,400, as assessed by earnings from up to three of your most recent assessment periods, from September 2026 all pupils from families claiming universal credit)
No other benefits qualify for free school meals from Key Stage 2 (years 3, 4, 5, 6) or for the pupil premium for Reception Year and Key Stage 1 (years 1, 2).
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.
