Poplars Primary School

School Meals

From 1st June 2025 the school meal price will increase to £2.65 per day (£13.25 per week).

If you have any dietary requirements that you would like to discuss with us please speak to the school office team. Please note - we have children with nut allergies in school and therefore ask that you do not send nuts or nut products in your child's packed lunches, please.

As well as the main hot dinner, jacket potatoes or the vegetarian choice of the day can be ordered at the morning register. We also have a packed lunch option for children - the children love it! Children will receive a freshly filled sandwich or roll, a healthy snack, a home-baked goodie and a piece of fruit. All this for the same great value £2.65! Meals are cooked and prepared to order. 

A school meal is £2.65 per day (£13.25 per week) and we need this to be paid in advance of meals being taken, via the SchoolMoney app. All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a Universal Free School Meal each day. We take dinner money payments online - use your existing Teachers2Parents app login details.

We offer total flexibility giving children the choice of a dinner on any day by ordering at registration time. If paying in cash, please ensure all monies are in an envelope, clearly marked with your child’s name, their class and which days they are having their school meal.

Please encourage your child to bring a healthy snack e.g. fruit, raisins, plain biscuits.  No chocolate or sweets. Fruit is provided each day free of charge for children in EYFS, Year 1 & Year 2.

 Free School Meals

Are you eligible for Free School Meals? 

As part of our commitment to "Progress through Partnership" we have brought our Free School Meal checking process under one team at Norfolk County Council rather than splitting the service across Norfolk and Suffolk local authorities depending upon which of our Trust schools your child is attending. There will be no difference to the way your child receives meals or is supported at school as a result of this change, we are just simplifying our processes and reducing administration time and cost of checking eligibility moving forwards.

 

If you think you may be please click on this link to get more information and apply online. Even if you are in receipt of Universal Free Meals you can still make a claim as this generates a huge amount of funding for the school to benefit your children.
