School Dinners

Tasty, nutritious school meals have been provided in the Bradford district for many years.

The Universal Infant Free School Meals scheme means these meals are provided FREE to all primary school children in reception class and years 1 & 2.

There are no forms to fill in, or other eligibility criteria. So if your child is in one of these year groups, you can simply send them along to school to enjoy a delicious free lunch each
day. If you would be eligible for free school meals (see criteria below), it’s a good idea to still register as your school will benefit from extra funding.

Please note: Currently for children in years 3-6, meals will be priced at £2.10 – to end July 2025.

Please note: from Monday, 1 September 2025, the price of school meals will incease to £2.20 per day.  Pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 will continue to be entitled to Free School Meals through the Universal Infant Free School Meals Scheme.  Meals in Nursery are also increasing in price from 1 September 2025 and are chargeable at £1.90 per day.
