Dinners, Free School Meals & Pupil Premium Information

At lunch time children may have a school lunch, bring their own packed lunch, or go home for lunch. Children who stay for a school lunch should bring dinner money (currently £11 per week – Cheques payable to LCC) on Monday mornings in a sealed, clearly labelled envelope. Parents should see the information below if they believe they may be entitled to free school meals.

Children bringing a packed lunch should have a suitable lunch box in which to bring the lunch and keep it fresh throughout the morning. Children having packed lunches are entitled to bring a drink, but not glass bottles or cans please.

The pupil premium is additional funding for publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers.

Pupil premium funding is available to:

• local authority maintained schools, including special schools and pupil referral units (PRUs)
• voluntary-sector alternative provision (AP), with local authority agreement
• special schools not maintained by the local authority (NMSS)
• academies and free schools, including special and AP academies
