Our school day includes lunchtime provision. Children may bring a packed lunch or choose a hot school meal.
- Foundation Stage to Year 2: All children are entitled to Universal Infant Free School Meals, funded by the government.
- Years 3 to 6: Meals must be paid for unless your child qualifies for Free School Meals.
We are a nut‑free school. Please do not send your child with any packed lunch or snack containing nuts or nut‑based products. This is essential to protect pupils with severe nut allergies.
Your child may be eligible for Free School Meals depending on your income and benefits. Even if your child currently receives Universal Infant Free School Meals, please apply now to ensure support continues as they move up the school.
Meal cost (Years 3–6): £2.50 per day ParentPay login: email finance@jeavonswood.org
Our meals are provided by Caterlink. Ingredients are sourced locally where possible, and menus are checked by a nutritionist to ensure balance across the week. Please see the latest menu in the side panel.
If your child has a medically diagnosed allergy or intolerance, please contact the School Office so we can ensure their needs are met.
Daily options include:
- Fresh wholemeal bread
- Salad bar
- Pudding or yoghurt & fresh fruit
Meal choices must be booked by midnight on the Sunday before the meal week. Parents can book up to 8 weeks in advance.
Pre‑booking is essential for all year groups so Caterlink can prepare the correct number of meals. Vegetarian, vegan and other options are shown clearly when booking—please ensure you select the correct choice for your child’s dietary needs.
For guidance on booking and paying for meals, please refer to the ParentPay Meal Booking Guide.
As a cashless school, all payments must be made online via ParentPay. Registration details are available by emailing finance@jeavonswood.org.
If you choose to provide a packed lunch, please read our packed lunch guidance (available in the side panel). Research shows that healthy lunches can positively influence children’s behaviour and learning.
With rising concerns about childhood obesity and related health issues, we encourage families to follow the guidance to support healthy eating habits. Water is always available in school, so providing an additional drink is optional.

- Income Support
- Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
- Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
