Trent Young'sCE School
School lunches are provided by Apetito. You can book meals via links sent out every 3 weeks by the school office. This will be in the FRIDAY newsletter. You will have until the following Tuesday at midnight to order.
If you miss the ordering deadline we are unfortunately unable to order after this time for that 3 week period and you will need to supply a lunch box for your child.
Children may also bring in packed lunches instead of ordering a cooked meal and we encourage parents to ensure that these are healthy.
Free School Meals – Are you eligible?
Many families will be affected by the ongoing cost of living crisis. We want to ensure families are aware of any support that may be available at this time. Your child may be able to get free school meals if you get certain qualifying benefits. There are many benefits to free school meals, such as:
- Improving behaviour & concentration
- Introducing healthy eating habits from a young age
- Giving children the nutrition they require
- Access to free activities via the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme
- Providing extra funding to the school to support your child’s education
