Our meals are provided by Nourish and are prepared and cooked in the school kitchen at St Leonards CofE Primary School and transported here for serving. Menus are shown on our website and displayed on our notice board outside the school office.
All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a free school meal every day through Universal Free School Meals Funding. Any pupils in Years 3, 4, 5 & 6 that are entitled to free school meals can also receive a meal (please refer to FAQ section to see if your child/ren are eligible for free school meals). There is an opportunity for all others to purchase the meals, if they wish, which from 26th February 2024 costs £2.50 per meal.
All school dinners must be ordered and paid for via the Arbor Parent Portal Arbor.
If you require assistance using the Arbor Parent Portal please refer to the following guide:
Arbor – Parent Portal and Parent App Leaflet
Arbor – Parents not receiving Push Notifications Leaflet
Please remember meals must be ordered 1 week in advance of when they are wanted ie a meal required on a Monday must be ordered by the Monday before. This is the same for all meals, if you pay for your child or are entitled to free school meals.
Please ensure your account has sufficient funds to pay for each meal on the day it is taken.

Please send your child into school each day with a clearly labelled water bottle. The children are able to refill their water bottles in their classrooms or at lunchtime.
