Each day a range of healthy food is prepared in our fully equipped satellite kitchen, from which the children select a meal of their choice.

 

Meals are paid for in advance. Dinner money is due on the first day of the term or half term and every Monday after that. The cost is £1.85 for all children. Cheques should be made payable to Swavesey Primary School . It should be sent to school, separate from any other money, in an envelope, clearly labelled with the amount of money it contains, your child's name and class and meal requirements for that week.

 

School meals must be ordered by 10 a.m. If your child has an appointment that will delay his/her arrival in school until after 10 a.m., a phone call or a note to the school office, ordering a meal in advance, is essential. Meals cannot be cancelled after 10.30 a.m.  Sadly, should your child fall ill and need to come home after 10.30 a.m. and before lunch, we are unable to credit you for the missed meal.

Children may bring packed lunches to school. They are eaten in the school hall, supervised by our midday supervisors. Lunch boxes should be clearly named to avoid confusion. Many parents wisely include a 'cool pack' in their child(ren)'s lunch box as there are no refrigerated facilities. A drink is essential but for safety reasons the children are not allowed glass bottles or cans. Water is available but the children need to bring a plastic mug to drink it from.

 

If the weather is fine the older children eat their lunches outside at the picnic tables in our attractively landscaped quiet area.

 

As at 1st January 2008, children whose parents receive the following support payments are entitled to receive free school lunches:

 

  • Income Support (IS) or
  • Income Based Jobseekers Allowance (IBJSA) or
  • Support under part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 or
  • Child Tax Credit, but who are not entitled to Working Tax Credit and whose annual income (as assessed by HM Revenue & Customs) does not exceed £14,495 or
  • Guarantee element of State Pension Credit.
