Breaktime food:

During morning breaktime children are able to have a healthy snack to keep their energy levels going. Only healthy snacks (e.g. no chocolate or high in sugar snacks) are permitted during breaktime. 

Lunchtime food:

We are delighted to welcome FEED (Feeding Excellence Every Day), by ISS, as our new school meal provider.

FEED provides nutritious, delicious and exciting meals designed to support children’s energy, concentration, wellbeing and learning throughout the school day. Menus are created by experienced chefs in partnership with qualified nutritionists and are refreshed throughout the year to provide plenty of variety.

FEED also offers themed meal days and food education activities, helping children to discover new foods, explore different flavours and develop healthy eating habits.

Free School Meals:

From September 2026, the Free School Meals system has changed. All children whose household receives Universal Credit may now be eligible for a free school meal, subject to the new criteria. There are two categories:

Targeted Free School Meals – for children whose household receives Universal Credit and has annual earnings of £7,400 or less, alongside other eligible groups. In addition to receiving a free daily school meal, children with Targeted FSM status can access the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme, and their school can receive additional Pupil Premium funding to support their education and wellbeing.

Expanded Free School Meals – for children whose household receives Universal Credit but does not meet the income threshold for Targeted FSM. These children are entitled to a free daily school meal, but do not receive the additional entitlements linked to Targeted FSM.

If you think your child may be eligible for Free School Meals, please speak to the school office or apply through West Sussex County Council.

For children who receive FEED meals, orders are placed through the FEED app, where parents can view menus, pre-order meals and check allergen and dietary information.

Packed Lunches:

If your child does not have a school dinner, they are welcome to bring a packed lunch from home.

Please ensure that packed lunches are healthy, nutritious and completely nut-free, as we have children in school with nut allergies.

We encourage families to provide a balanced lunch including foods such as a sandwich or other starchy food, fruit and/or vegetables and a suitable drink. Please avoid sweets, chocolate and fizzy drinks.

We look forward to working with FEED and providing our children with a healthy, enjoyable and exciting lunchtime experience.
