School Meals

Children may have an ordered school meal or bring their own packed lunch.  We encourage our children to follow our BEST ethos whilst they are in the lunch hall and ensure they are using manners and being courteous and considerate to adults and peers. We also encourage parents to provide the children with a heathy lunch box and that we keep our children safe and they do not bring in hot soup, glass containers, or canned drinks because of the danger of accidents.  

You will need to order your hot meals through the online system SchoolGrid. When your child starts here at Standens Barn Primary we will send you a link and password along with information about ordering food. You can order food up until 8.30am on the same day.

Payment is by either setting up a direct debit or crediting your school grid account.

Free School Meals

All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to Universal Infant Free School Meals, meaning they can enjoy a free school lunch every day regardless of family income. Please do not make payments for these meals through School Grid or ParentPay.

However, some families may also be eligible for benefits-related Free School Meals. Registering for these helps the school access additional funding, known as Pupil Premium, which can be used to provide extra support, resources and opportunities for eligible children. 

If you think your child may qualify, we encourage you to apply even if they already receive Universal Infant Free School Meals.

For information about eligibility and how to apply, please see the links below or contact the school office for assistance. We will be happy to help and all enquiries will be treated confidentially.
