    Cool Milk

    Our school provides a milk scheme that is available to all of our pupils and we would like to invite you to register your child. School milk is free for under-5s, and for over-5s it is available at a subsidised rate.

    Each child that registers with Cool Milk will receive a 189ml portion of semi-skimmed milk every day, delivered fresh and chilled to the classroom. Their school milk will not only provide them with essential nutrients, but as it is rehydrating and energy boosting it also bridges the gap between breakfast and lunch to help children stay focused.

    For more information on how milk can benefit children visit https://coolmilk.com/mighty-milk/

    How to register
    If your child is under five:

    • Register online at www.coolmilk.com

    Universal Infant Free School Meals

    All children in reception, year 1 and year 2 automatically get a free school meal, but you should still register your child to receive free school meals if you are eligible.  By doing this your child’s entitlement can be checked on a regular basis so that their school can receive valuable additional funding for every child receiving a free school meal.  You can find out if your child qualifies for free school meals and apply here: https://www.torbay.gov.uk/freeschoolmeals

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Free School Meals

    Changes from September 2026

    From the start of the 2026/27 school year, all children in families receiving Universal Credit will get free school meals.

    Targeted and expanded free school meals

    Children receive free school meals if they fall into 1 of these 2 categories:

    • eligible targeted
    • eligible expanded
    Eligible targeted

    Eligible targeted covers children in households which:

    • receive Universal Credit
    • have annual household earnings of £7,400 or less

    These children will receive a pupil premium and other disadvantage funding for their schools.

    Children who receive eligible targeted free school meals can also receive other support such as:

    • holiday activities and food programme (HAF) 
    • 'extended rights' of school travel assistance.
    Eligible expanded

    Eligible expanded covers children in households which:

    • receive Universal Credit
    • have annual household earnings of more than £7,400

    These children will only receive free school meals.

    Packed lunch

    Children may, if they wish, bring a packed lunch, instead of the cooked meal. These are eaten in the hall under the supervision of a mealtime assistant. 

    A balanced, healthy lunch box with minimal sugary snacks is strongly encouraged. 

    Cans/bottles of fizzy drink should not be brought into school.  Squash or water are permitted with lunch boxes but bottles for use in the classroom during lesson time should contain water only. 

    Sweets are not permitted at school.  If there is a need for a snack at breaktime children are allowed to have fruit, cereal bar or other healthy snacks.
