School Meals

All Reception children are entitled to a free school meal as part of the Universal Infant Free School Meals scheme. At Spring Grove, all infant children (Reception to Year 2) take advantage of this and have daily school meals. Having meals in school gives them the opportunity to experience different cuisines and tastes. Our caterers provide a menu with a variety of options including Halal and Vegetarian. We ask that you do not send a packed lunch from home.

Parents and carers will be able to  choose meal options and book them in advance via ParentPay.  The meal bookings  have a cut-off time of Sunday 12 midnight for the following week .
TIP:  book meals for the full half term at once, you can always change them before the cut-off time.
