School meals are freshly prepared on the premises each day.

The menus are on a three week rotation. This ensures variety with a focus on fresh fruit, vegetables and salads. Due to our commitment to healthy eating, our ingredients have reduced saturated fat, sugar and salt. All foods are baked or steamed, except chips which are only served once a week. Fresh fruit, wholemeal bread, yogurt, cheese and biscuits, ice cream, semi-skimmed milk and water are also available daily. 

If you prefer, your child may bring a healthy packed lunch.

Special Menus for Dietary Requirements

Does your child have a food allergy/intolerance or a medical condition, which would require them to need a Medically Prescribed Diet? If so, Catering Services has an online facility where a medically prescribed diet can be requested.

To request a special diet, simply complete the application form using the link below.

Please ensure you have a copy of a recent medical letter confirming the diagnosis and required diet, as this will need to be uploaded during the application.

Once we have received the form, you will either receive a special diet menu for your approval by email or we will contact you to discuss your child’s requirements in more detail before sending a menu out to you. Please allow up to 3 weeks for your menu to arrive.

To protect the health of your child, please provide your child with a packed lunch from home until you have received the confirmed start date.

Please note: Even with proactive cross-contamination control measures, multiple handling processes in the supply chain do present the potential for trace ingredients to remain present. We cannot control the food brought into the dining environment by other customers.

Free School Meals

All children in primary schools are entitled to free school meals as part of the Welsh Government scheme (UPFSM). 

In addition to this, parents who receive certain benefits are entitled to further grants for their children. 

You can apply for this online here: https://www.bridgend.gov.uk/residents/schools-and-education/grants-for-pupils.

Cashless Catering

As all pupils in primary schools now receive free school meals through the UPFSM scheme, you no longer need to top up your child's cashless catering balance. In some cases, you may be required to make a payment for school dinners taken before your child was entitled to free school meals. 

Click here to pay for school meals through the Local Authority website. 

If you have a credit balance on your child's cashless catering account when they leave the school, or become eligible for free school meals, please complete a refund form (see below) and return to the school office for processing. 

Breaktime Snacks & Drinks

To encourage healthy eating, children are able to bring a healthy snack for their morning break. This can be fruit, vegetables, cheese or yogurt. Sweets, crisps, biscuits, cake or chocolate are not permitted. The school's fruit tuck shop is available for pupils to purchase a piece of fruit at playtime if they wish.

Every child should also bring a water bottle to school every day. We ask that parents fill it for them daily and that the bottle is washed every evening. Children can top up their bottles during the day if required. Squash is not permitted.

Due to a number of food allergies, and because we are a healthy school, we do not allow cakes or sweets to be brought into class to celebrate birthdays. 

School Milk Scheme

Free milk is offered to all pupils in Nursery - Year 2.  
Non-dairy, plant based alternatives can be provided at the school’s discretion - please contact the school office for more information.
