School Lunches
At St John's, we understand how important a healthy and interesting diet is for our pupils and we work hard to offer an appealing and varied selection of hot and cold meals. These are freshly prepared and cooked on the premises by our excellent kitchen team.
The menu options can be found below. Please place all orders via the SCOPAY APP. We request that school meals are ordered by 10am on the preceding Thursday. This helps our Catering Team plan accurate quantities and reduces any potential waste. If you are unable to make this deadline, so long as an order is placed, your child will still be provided with a meal.
If there are any difficulties, please contact the office team who will be there to support and help you with any questions you may have.
Cost of School Lunches
The current price for school meals is £2.90.
Universal Free School Meals
Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 receive the Universal Infant Free School Meal scheme where the government fund the cost of a school meal regardless of the household income. However, it is still really important that if you are in receipt of any benefits, you complete the form below so that you can receive extra funding to support your child's education. This is known as Pupil Premium.
Your child may be eligible for Free School Meals?
The government have announced that as of September 2026 there will be two categories for Free School Meal eligibility (Universal Infant Free School Meal Scheme will not be effected):
Targeted: Children in households receiving Universal Credit with annual earnings of £7,400 or less. These pupils will attract pupil premium and other disadvantaged funding. Other entitlements, such as the holiday activities and food programme (HAF) and the ‘extended rights’ element of school travel assistance, will also be based on this category.
Expanded: Children in households receiving Universal Credit with annual earnings above £7,400. These pupils will be entitled to free school meals only and will not attract pupil premium funding.
