Cost of School Meals
Hull City Council currently subsidise school meals for children in Key Stage 2; that’s Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6. This means your child gets a delicious, filling lunch and costs you just £1.50 per day. All children in Key Stage 1; that’s Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 will continue to receive FREE school meals.
School payments using ParentPay
Our school aims to be a cashless school. Please use ParentPay to make all payments. This system gives you a more convenient, secure and flexible way to make payments to school online. By making cashless payments you know that your money has reached the school safely. You can pay online using a debit or credit card.

Nut Free School
We aim to be a Nut-Free school. The school aims to protect children who have allergies to nuts while also helping them as they grow to take responsibility for what foods they can safely eat and to be aware of what foods may put them at risk. We do not allow nuts or nut products in school lunch boxes or for school snacks.
Free school meals
Many of our families could get Free School Meals but do not claim for them; your child may be entitled to Free School Meals if you as the parent are in receipt of any of the following benefits:
- Income Support
- Jobseeker’s Allowance (income based)
- Employment and Support Allowance
- Support under the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
- Guaranteed element of State Pension Credit
- Child Tax Credit (but NOT Working Tax Credit)
Why claim?
- Save hundreds of pounds per year
- Extra funding for the school in the form of Pupil Premium
- It’s your entitlement
- No downside
- Other children and parents will not know you are claiming

Food Intolerances & Allergies
If a child has a known food intolerance e.g. gluten, or an allergy to a specific food e.g. nuts, it is vital the school is kept informed. In the first instance parents should speak to the school office staff who will ensure that the child’s information is circulated to the necessary staff and the school cook.
It can also be arranged for the parent to speak to the school cook as in most cases they will be able to cater for a child’s specific needs without them requiring a totally different meal to the other children.
It is also important that all staff are aware of any intolerances/allergies as the child may be involved in cooking or an activity involving food during the school day
