School Lunches

We encourage your son/daughter to purchase a hot lunch from our school.

All school meals are cooked in-house by our dedicated catering team in our very own kitchen! Please click on the link below to see the weekly lunch menus.

Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are all entitled to a FREE school meal and we would encourage them to have a hot meal each day.

For Year 3 to Year 6 the cost is £2.25 per day and is payable via Parent Pay. Please log in with your username and password and you will be able to deposit funds into your child’s account. If you are unsure of your parent pay username or password, then please contact the school office.

Please click here if you have any questions or need help using ParentPay

Schools receive additional funding for children who are entitled to free school meals and we use this money to the benefit of your child, i.e. to fund school trips, music tuition and receive free items of school uniform. We encourage you to claim your entitlement even if your child is currently in Reception to Year 2 as you could receive many additional benefits.

The Eligibility Checker is available on the following link free school meals eligibility checker and you will need your National Insurance Number and Date of Birth to apply. Please contact the school office if you need any assistance.

Alternatively you may provide your child with a healthy packed lunch. Please check the guidance below when preparing a packed lunch.

Healthy Packed Lunches:

It is important for learning that children have the right food at lunch time. Please always remember to include fruit and vegetables each day. For further information about Healthy Eating at Heathland School please click the link below to see our healthy eating newsletter.

We would like to remind you of the items that should not be in your child’s packed lunch :

Crisps
Sweets
Biscuits
Cakes
Chocolate
We are a water only school and therefore your child should not be bringing juice or squash (Water is served for everyone at lunchtime)
