25/26 School Meal Prices

The cost of a school meal for the 25/26 academic year is £2.78, which equates to £13.90 per week. Please see below for a breakdown for each of the three terms.

Advance or regular payments must be made in to your child's ParentPay meal account to ensure that there is a credit balance at all times. PLEASE NOTE: If your account reaches an arrears level of £20, your child will be moved to packed lunches until such time as the account balance is settled up. Thank you for your support on this.

24/25 School Meal Arrears

If you have any arrears for school meals on your ParentPay account for school meals (showing as a debit balance), you have an obligation to bring your balance back to £0 ASAP please. 

Free School Meals

All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 qualify for Universal Infant Free School Meals (UIFSM), entitling them to a free hot meal provided by School. If you prefer your child to bring a packed lunch, this must be brought in from home. Please note that packed lunches are not covered under the Government-funded UIFSM scheme.

Some families with children from Year 3 upwards are eligible for Free School Meals (FSM). Even if you have not previously been eligible, if you have had a change in circumstances you may wish to check if you are now entitled to receive this support.

Please Note: Families with children in Early Years or KS1 may also be eligible for FSM, even though they would be in receipt of UIFSM. We encourage all families to check their eligibility and apply for FSM as the School receives additional funding for all eligible children throughout their entire primary school journey.

More information is available at: https://www.trafford.gov.uk/residents/schools/traffordcatering/free-school-meals.aspx

You can also apply to check your eligibility for FSM at: https://www.cloudforedu.org.uk/ofsm/sims-trafford

Subject to maximum income thresholds, anyone who is a British National (Overseas) (BN(O)) and/or with no recourse to public funds is also eligible to apply for Free School Meals. Please contact the School Office for the application form.

Meal Arrangements

If you wish to change your child's meal arrangements (from School meals to packed lunches, or vice versa), we require one full week's notice. Please contact the School Office on 0161 973 7350 or office@firs.trafford.sch.uk .
