Pupil Premium, Free School Meals and Universal Infant Free School Meals (UIFSM)
Pupil Premium is additional funding which the school can receive from the Government to improve educational opportunities for children of families on low income. This grant includes the provision of Free School Meals for eligible families for all year groups in school. Even if your child is having a packed lunch or is an infant who is receiving a UIFSM, the school asks all parents and carers to claim their entitlement to Pupil Premium/Free School Meals if they think they are eligible because the school will receive extra funding from the government to support your child.
If you think you are eligible to apply for Pupil Premium/Free School Meals, please go to the school office and ask for an application form.
Healthy Packed Lunches
School lunches are a great choice for your child but, if you choose to make a packed lunch for them instead, here are some tips for preparing a healthier lunchbox.
What to include in your child’s lunchbox
A healthier lunchbox should
- be based on starchy carbohydrates (bread, potatoes, rice, pasta);
- include fresh fruit and vegetables/salad;
- include a source of protein such as beans and pulses, eggs, fish, meat, cheese (or dairy alternative);
- include a side dish such as a low-fat and lower-sugar yoghurt (or dairy alternative), tea cake, fruit bread, plain rice/corn cakes, sugar-free jelly; and
- include a drink such as water, skimmed or semi-skimmed milk, sugar-free or no-added-sugar drinks.
The Eatwell Guide shows you how to have a healthy balanced diet and can help you to decide what to put in your child’s lunchbox.
