# School Meals and Snacks

Milk is free for children under 5 and subsidised for children aged 5 to 11. School uses Cool Milk to provide milk for the children, however it must be ordered by the parents or carers, if you would like your child to have milk you can use the quick link to **[Coolmilk.com](http://coolmilk.com/)** on this page or on the Home page to order it.  If your child is unable to drink milk please let us know and water will be provided.

All Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 children receive a free piece of fruit or vegetable as a snack each day.

At morning break time Key Stage 2 children can bring in a healthy snack or a piece of fruit.

As our school strives to encourage children to be healthy we ask families to think carefully about what is given to their child in their packed lunch.  We discourage sugary drinks or sweets from being included. We are able to provide advice on healthy lunches to parents.

School meals are cooked in our own kitchen; there is a choice of items for each course, including a vegetarian option. Meals have been carefully planned and prepared for nutritional value.

As the cost of a school meal may be subject to change, up to date information is available on School Hub, our school meal ordering system.

All Foundation Stage 2 and Key Stage 1 children are currently entitled to have a free school meal if they choose to under the Universal Free School Meals system introduced by the Government in 2014.

For Key Stage 2 children who choose to have a school meal we use School Hub for you to pay for your child's meals. Please use the quick link **www.schoolhub.co.uk** Any further information including the initial activation details you need to register, is provided by the Admin Team in the school office.

If your child is entitled to free school meals, you have to apply for them via the Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council’s website **[www.stockport.gov.uk/benefits](http://www.stockport.gov.uk/benefits)**. Visit the website then click on ‘free school meals’. Information is also available at all Council Information Centres and Libraries.

Meadowbank works closely with Orian who are our school meals provider, further information can be found using the following web link; <https://www.orian.co.uk/primary-school-catering>
