School meals

Lunches are provided free of charge for children in Reception to Year Two as well as those families eligible for Free School Meals.

School meals cost £2.30 each for nursery children and years 3-6. Please log in to the school's cashless system to pay for shool meals and to view and select lunch options.

A vegetarian option is always available and the kitchen is usually able to cater for special dietary/medical needs if given advance notice – please contact the school office so we can help you organise this if necessary.

All school meals are ordered online via iPayimpact. 

If you do not order your child’s lunch within the required deadline for each week then your child will automatically will be given the main option on the days that lunches haven’t been ordered.

Some parents may be entitled to receive free school meals for their children.

In order to determine if you are eligible and to apply please click here, or see the school office for a Free School Meal Application Form.

We have a number of children and staff who have severe, potentially life-threatening nut allergies. Not only are they allergic to nuts, they also cannot tolerate having any food substances that contain nuts. Please ensure that your child does not bring any nuts or food items to school which contain nuts as a listed ingredient.

Our “Nut-Free Approach” means that the following items should not be brought into school:

• Packets of nuts
• Peanut butter or Nutella sandwiches
• Fruit and cereal bars that contain nuts
• Chocolate bars or sweets that contain nuts
• Sesame seed rolls (children allergic to nuts may also have a severe reaction to sesame)
• Cakes made with nuts
• Any home cooked meals for packed lunches that are made from nuts

We thank you for your cooperation in making Ark Ayrton a safe school for all children and staff.
