Lunches
School Meals are £2.90 each.
Every child in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to Universal Free School Meals. When your child reaches the summer term of Year 2 you must apply for free school meals here for your free school meals to continue.
REMEMBER: Free School Meals will not be continued in Year 3 unless you apply and are eligible.
Our school dinners are supplied and cooked by Ashlyns. The food is prepared and cooked fresh on the premises daily. We strongly recommend this option for all of our families to guarantee our children a healthy balanced diet; especially in KS1, as the meals are free.
Please note that any packed lunches bought into school will be scrutinised for all allergens and healthy content. NO FIZZY DRINKS, JUICE, SWEETS AND CHOCOLATE WILL BE PERMITTED IN SCHOOL.
Jerounds prides itself on being a nut-free school.
