Catering inc Free Meals

Allergies

We’re passionate about food and our meals are made with high quality ingredients and we do our best to cater for students with food allergies. However, we cannot guarantee an environment completely free from allergens, so traces of some ingredients may still be present in our meals.

If your child has a severe food allergy, please talk to our staff about the allergy and ask for more information about the allergens in your meal. We will try to accommodate any reasonable request.

Our Planet

We work closely with our clients and suppliers to be as environmentally friendly as we can. By making lots of small changes, we can make a big difference. We care about the future and continue to focus on responsible sourcing, using seasonal produce, increasing our focus on plant-based recipes, making our menus more sustainable, keeping waste to a minimum and reusing and recycling to reduce the impact we have.

Free School Meals  

Your child may be able to get free school meals if you receive any of the following:  

• Income Support  
• Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance  
• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance  
• Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999  

• The guaranteed element of Pension Credit  
• Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)  
• Working Tax Credit run-on – paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit  
• Universal Credit – if you apply on or after 1 April 2018 your household income must be less than £7,400 a year (after tax and not including any benefits you get)  

Children who get paid these benefits directly, instead of through the family, can also get free school meals.  

Please note: If your child is eligible for free school meals, they’ll remain eligible until they finish the phase of schooling (primary or secondary) they’re in.

If you believe your child may be entitled to receive free school meals, you need to fill in an application form supplied by your local council. The council will then inform Selston High School and provide the funding.

ParentPay information and lunch account debt

All new students will receive a letter with a unique code to be used with the ParentPay website – this will be issued shortly before or after they start at Selston. Lunch accounts can also be topped up using cash by students using the revaluation machine in the hall.

Lunch money can also be topped up through a local PayPoint store – please contact our finance team to request a PayPoint barcode letter.

To ensure that the School’s budget is not adversely affected by the cost of school meal debt, we will seek prompt corrective action to recover the debt and inform parents as soon as possible to prevent the debt balance growing.

We encourage all families to familiarise themselves with our school meal debt policy. If you are struggling to afford the cost of school meals, please contact the school so we are able to support you.
