day. As well as the daily menu, with menus planned on a four-week cycle, we also
offer: Sandwiches, Baguettes, Chicken Wraps, a packed lunch and a "Spuddy Buddy" - a hot,
jacket potato with a variety of fillings and a Salad Bar. Our focus is on providing healthy
nutritious meals.

Key Stage 1 children receive a free school meal.

Money for a school meal should be sent in either a purse or an envelope with the child’s
name and class written on it. You can if you wish send money in at the beginning of each
week rather than daily.

If you are receiving Income Support, Job Seekers Allowance – income based. Pension Credit
or Child Tax Credit - then you may be entitled to free school meals for your children. You do
however, have to apply for them. Office staff can supply forms or you can download one
from http://www.dudley.gov.uk/resident/your-council/benefits/free-school-meals/

For information on the provision of free school meals please contact Benefits Section, Finance
Department, Dudley Council House (Tel. 01384 818181).

Garrattley directly on 01384 818285

For those who bring a packed lunch, we ask parents to ensure children receive healthy
meals. To help parents, water bottles (with the school logo on) are available from the school
office at a reasonable cost, although all children are given one of these for use in the
classroom.
