Price of School Lunches Changing

Dear Parents/Carers,

Following a significant increase in labour costs from Mellors (including rise in National Living Wage, National Minimum Wage, and increased NI contributions) we have been strongly advised to adjust the costs of school meals accordingly. 

This means that from 1st April 2025, the cost of school meals for all children (except those in Reception/KS1 and those in receipt of Free School Meals) will rise to £3.00

If you believe you may be entitled to Free School Meals, I would strongly suggest completing a quick online assessment to see if you qualify.

Apply online - Free School Meals - Staffordshire County Council

If your child is in Reception or KS1 and your child gets Universal Free School meals because of their age, it is also very much worth applying.

Please ask at the school office if you have any further queries about this.
