Microsoft 365School Meals
At Eaton Valley, we are committed to ensuring that all pupils enjoy healthy, nutritious, and tasty meals every day. Our school meals are carefully planned to support pupils’ wellbeing while offering choices that suit a range of dietary needs and preferences.
All meals are prepared and cooked fresh daily on site by our school kitchen team, ensuring high standards of quality, freshness, and food safety.
To support this, we operate a pre‑booking school meals system. This system allows our kitchen team to plan effectively, prepare meals more efficiently, and help reduce food waste.
Our menu includes:
- A daily hot meal, with both halal and non‑halal meat or poultry options
- A vegetarian option available each day
- A variety of jacket potatoes offered daily with different fillings
- A sandwich option available every day
If your child has any specific dietary requirements or food allergies, please contact the school office, who will be happy to support you.

Cost of School Meals
The cost of a school meal is £2.65 per day, or £13.25 for a full school week.
Free School Meals
Some children may be eligible for free school meals, depending on the circumstances of their parent(s) or registered carers. If you believe your child may qualify, please visit the GOV.UK Free School Meals website to apply:
Alternatively, parents and carers are welcome to visit or contact the school office, where staff can provide guidance and support with the application process and any necessary forms.
All children in Reception, Year 1, and Year 2 are entitled to Universal Infant Free School Meals. Once children move into Year 3, school meals will be charged unless they meet the eligibility criteria for free school meals.
Ordering a School Meal
All school meals must be pre‑ordered in advance using ParentPay. The link to ParentPay can be found below.
Meals must be ordered by midnight on the day before the meal is required.
If you need help with ordering a school meal, please refer to the meal ordering guide below. If you require further support, contact the school office, who will be happy to assist.
Absence
If your child is going to be absent from school or will be bringing a packed lunch instead of a school meal, we kindly ask that parents cancel any meal bookings via ParentPay as soon as possible. This helps the school kitchen to plan accurately and minimise food waste.
Packed Lunches
Eaton Valley is a nut‑free school. To ensure the safety of all pupils, nuts or products that may contain nuts must not be included in your child’s packed lunch, as these can pose a serious risk to pupils with allergies.
