The number of pupils choosing school meals in Monmouthshire has increased in recent years. The popularity is due to a number of factors including fantastic celebration theme days including World Book Day, St David’s Day, Royal Events and the very popular Christmas lunch. 

​

Pupils love the imagination and creativity in the unique names of some of the dishes and wide range of choices. Parents love knowing their child has had a home cooked meal made using fresh produce.

​

All Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 children are entitled to a free school lunch.  School meals for Year 3 pupils and older cost £2.50.

 

School lunches are paid via Parent Pay:  an online method to pay for school expenses including lunches. It is a quick and easy way for parents to pay for school dinners, trips and so on, at any time of the day.

​

As of September 2022, pupils who are eligible for Free School Meals and attend maintained schools are also entitled to a clothing grant if they are entering Reception or any other Year Group (excluding Year 12 and Year 13).
