NORTH TYNESIDE SCHOOL MEALS

School meals have undergone big changes over the last few years and here in North Tyneside we strive to devise healthy, well-balanced menus that pupils will enjoy.

All meals are freshly prepared in school every morning and meet the rigorous school food guidelines set out by the Government.

Our school meals are designed to give your child exactly the right kind of foods to keep them going until teatime, including lots of energy-giving carbohydrates and at least two of their five a day fruit and vegetables.

PAYING FOR SCHOOL MEALS

All children in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 are eligible for Universal Infant Free School Meals.

Unless you are eligible for benefit-based free school meals you will need to pay for school lunches from the start of Year 3.

School meals are great value at only £2.60 a day.

School meals should be paid for:

  • online using ParentPay website
  • before they are taken
  • preferable a week in advance

Paying online means that you can do this at a time that’s convenient for you. Pay for school meals online at www.parentpay.com

To set up a ParentPay account you require an activation username and password, which can be sent to you by email or letter.
