Halfway Nursery Infant School
School Meals
All children in Foundation Stage 2, year 1 and year 2 are entitled to Universal Infant Free School Meals.
Children in nursery are able to pay for a school lunch, or bring in packed lunch.
As a school we partner with caterers Taylor Shaw, who provide a choice of hot and cold lunches every day and can cater for all medical or specific diets.
Children choose their lunch at morning register time, with help from classroom staff.
Children are welcome to bring in their own packed lunch instead on some or all days. We ask that this is a healthy packed lunch, with no fizzy drinks or sweets and that it is nut free.
Additional funding to support your child
School will be able to access additional funding to support any child who qualifies for 'Free School Meals'. This is different to the Universal Infant Free School Meals all children are entitled to up until the end of year 2.
Children who qualify for this entitlement will also receive free school milk and £15 weekly holiday food vouchers which can be used at over 11 supermarkets, so it is really worth your while to check if you are eligible!
To meet the eligibility requirement for this, you should be in receipt of child benefit, and one of the following benefits:
-
Income Support;
-
Income Based Jobseekers Allowance;
-
An income-related employment and support allowance;
-
Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999;
-
Child Tax Credit, but not receiving Working Tax Credit, and your annual income does not exceed £16,190;
-
The guarantee element of State Pension Credit;
-
Parents receiving Working Tax Credit for four weeks after their employment finishes are entitled to free school meals during that period. This also applies to parents who start working less than 16 hours per week.
You can apply for the 'Free School Meal' entitlement in any of the following ways:
-
Completing an online application form via the Sheffield City Council website.
- Telephoning the School Food Service on 273 5705 or 273 6401.
