School Meals
We offer a wide range of school meals for your children. As well as a variety of daily healthy options, we also offer a vegetarian and halal option.
The school is proud that all our meals meet the national school food standards and the criteria for Food for Life, a national organisation that promotes a core ethos of healthy, tasty and sustainable food.
We welcome any inquires about special dietary needs your child may have.
Free School Meals
From September 2026, more children are expected to become eligible for free school meals.
Free School Meals will be available to pupils whose parents or carers receive one or more of the following:
- Universal Credit
- Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
A child will only receive Free School Meals where:
- An application has been made, and
- Eligibility has been confirmed by the school or the local authority
Some households may also be eligible if they:
- Receive income-related Employment and Support Allowance
- Receive the Guarantee element of Pension Credit
- Meet criteria set out in separate guidance for families with no recourse to public funds
Please visit Together for Children Sunderland’s website to see more information, and to apply.
School Meals Payment
School meals are charged at £2.40 per day, £12 per week. Payments for school meals can be made on the Arbor App and the meals’ account balance monitored.
Accounts can be topped up at any time but please ensure there is a minimum of £12 on your child’s account each Monday morning, for the week ahead.
