School Meals

We are part of Bishop Chadwick Catholic Education Trust and are delighted to have our school meals supplied by our in-house catering team Chadwick’s Kitchen. To find out about our menu’s, medical diets, etc.

Please click here to visit the Chadwick’s Kitchen page on the Trust website.

Currently every child in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 will receive a free school meal, this is called Universal School Meals.

However, if you are in receipt of some benefits your child is likely to be eligible to receive free school please still apply for Free School Meals (FSM) status. This provides our school with extra funding, known as the ‘pupil premium’, for every eligible pupil who is registered. Pupil premium allows our school to further support pupils learning.

To find out if you are eligible and apply visit your local council website: Durham County Council, South Tyneside Council, Together for Children Sunderland.

Please contact the school office if you are unsure which week we are currently on.

If you are eligible for free school meals and  have received a voucher from the government, please read here to find out how to redeem your voucher.
