All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are now entitled to a ‘Universal Free School Meal’, this can be either a hot meal or a grab bag. Children still have the option of bringing in their own packed lunch.
School Meals are provided by Dudley Catering and Client Services and are currently £2.40 per day for children in Years 3-6. This can be paid either by cash or cheque on a daily or weekly basis. Cheques should be made payable to Dudley MBC, payments are collected in class on a daily basis, please ensure all dinner money is in a sealed envelope marked with your child’s name, class, amount enclosed and the days to which it applies.
If you are in receipt of certain benefits your child may be entitled to free school meals. Even if your child receives a Universal Free School Meal and you are in receipt of benefits please still apply for Free School Meals as the school may receive additional funding.
