Chew Magna Primary School

School Meals

School meals are cooked on our premises and the children are offered an excellent choice of main meals at lunchtime, including a vegetarian alternative. The meals are of a very good quality and they are prepared by our wonderful school cook, Bev. Please click here to see our current school meal menus created by Aspens and here to see the school menu for the spring and summer term.

All children in Foundation stage, Year 1 and Year 2 in state funded schools in England qualify for Universal Free School Meals. Parents of these children are not required to pay for their school meals.

For Key Stage 2 children, dinner money may be paid termly, weekly or daily in advance on ParentPay. The current cost per meal is £2.65.
