Free School Meals

Free school meals are available to some families who are in receipt of certain government benefits, such as Income Support or Income Based Jobseekers Allowance.  Other benefits may qualify you to apply for Free School Meals for your child.  Applying for a free school meal could raise extra funding for the school to fund valuable teaching and learning support, and is still paid to the school even if your circumstances or entitlement ceases.

If your child does qualify we receive additional funding known as the Pupil Premium Grant. This grant will then apply to your child for 6 years. The funding is used to support your child educationally and can, in some instances, be used to pay for educational visits and extra curricular activities.

 School Lunches

At Bengeworth we have a fully equipped kitchen and our hot midday meals are cooked freshly on site by our very own team of kitchen staff and enjoyed by a large number of children at both settings.

The Government currently funds universal free lunches for all pupils from Reception to Year 2 to enable them to have a hot midday meal.  In order to prevent wastage, your child will need to either opt in to the Universal Free School Meal scheme every day, or you will need to send your child with a healthy packed lunch every day.  

In addition to this your child may qualify for extra funding during their time at school through the Government Free School Meals grant. If you are in receipt of any benefits, your child may qualify for this grant and the school will recieve additional funding throughout their time at Bengeworth. To find out more click here. 

If your child is in Year 3, Year 4 or Year 5, hot school meals cost £2.50 per day which must be booked and paid for in advance via our E-Payment system ParentPay.  Menus are available to view below.

We encourage all our children to make healthy choices and to try new food.  For this reason, children are able to make their own choices at the serving points and parents are not required to pre-choose from the menu for their child.

Lunchtimes at Burford Road are from 12.00pm to 1.00pm.

Lunchtimes at King's Road are staggered by year group and run from 12.00pm to 1.30pm.
