| North Yorkshire School Meals
Last year, we decided to look at the menus that are provided by the County Catering service to make sure that we are providing food that children enjoy and will eat. The School Council carried out a survey of preferences for children in all year groups, and met with one of our governors to talk about how the menu could be improved. The result of this is the production of a brand-new two-week rolling menu which is based on the children’s top choices of meals while remaining nutritionally balanced across the week. We review this half termly, and will be inviting input from children and parents. Free School MealsTo qualify for free school meals you must fulfil one of the following criteria:
Please note that contributions-based benefits, including contribution-related Jobseekers' Allowance do not entitle you to claim free school meals. Should you meet the above criteria, click here and fill in the application form. Applications are usually processed within five working days. You will be notified in writing, either by post or email, if your child is entitled and we will also let the school know. You should continue to pay until confirmation comes through. Schools may be able to arrange reimbursement of payment made while your entitlement is being confirmed. Free school meals claims cannot be backdated. They are awarded from the date we receive the application, once eligibility is confirmed. This is because there is a legal requirement for a request to be made, before a free school meal can be provided. If you are not entitled to free school meals, you will be notified in writing. |
