Please note that all infant children are entitled to a free school meal as part of the Universal Infant Free School Meals scheme. We ask that all infant children take advantage of this and have a school meal and do not bring a packed lunch from home. You will be able to book the meals via ParentPay.
Some families will be entitled to Free School Meals due to low household income – please let us know if this is the case as your child will also be entitled to free school milk (after their fifth birthday), subsidised clubs and other school activities. If you would like to find out if you are eligible please visit https://www.hounslow.gov.uk/info/20025/schools_and_colleges/61/free_school_meals
