Our commitment to providing balanced and wholesome food options ensures that every student has the energy and focus needed to excel throughout the school day. We understand the important role that food plays in supporting learning, growth, and overall well-being.

We prioritise fresh ingredients and aim to introduce students to a range of flavours and food experiences.

Students will be able to order a meal in the morning during their tutor time at 8.55am.

Every Wednesday we will send out correspondence to advise parents if their meal balance is currently showing a debt. If possible we ask that parents pay in advance and set up a standing order to the school account below if their child will be regularly eating at school.

Our bank details are:

Free School Meals

We would like to remind you that some families are entitled to free school meals.
There are two important reasons why families should register for free school meals

Students who are eligible receive a school meal every day

Schools receive additional funding from the government for each eligible student who claims the free school meal allowance, even if the student doesn’t want to actually eat a meal

The process will be entirely online and so schools will be unable to provide hardcopy forms or submit your application form for you. The new system will give families an instant indication as to whether their child is eligible for free school meals, and ensure that eligible children receive their FSM entitlement as quickly as possible. The Catering Services FSM team will then run further checks and confirm the outcome via email.

You can contact the Free School Meal team directly on 0330 222 5555 or at fsm@westsussex.gov.uk or to apply please click directly on the link by clicking here.

If your young person has a medical condition that requires a special diet, please download, complete and return the below form with all the necessary information required and supporting medical evidence and return it to reception at school.
