Our dinner time menu is prepared and cooked fresh in our school kitchen each day. Our menus operate on a three week rota. We encourage our parents and carers to talk to their child each morning about their choice of school dinner. Children choose either a red, blue, yellow or green meal when the teacher takes the morning register. You can pre-book your child's dinner on SCO-PAY for the week.
Children in F2, Year 1 and Year 2 receive free school dinners. Children in years 3, 4, 5 and 6 will need to pay for their school dinners through SCO-PAY, unless you are in receipt of income-related Free School Meals in which case your child will receive their school dinner for free, see the information below.
Water jugs and cups are available on each table for all children to help themselves and the younger children have dinner staff to help them with this. Please remember that children having a school dinner are not permitted to bring their own drinks.
Packed Lunches
We understand that some parents and carers would prefer their children to bring a packed lunch into school, rather than having a hot dinner. We always encourage our pupils to eat healthily.
Free School Meals
Free school meals are available to some children according to family income.
To find out if your child qualifies for free school meals, or for further help, you can:
- Visit the Wakefield Free School Meals Website to download an application form and leaflet
- Contact Wakefield Family Services on 01924 305061
- Call the HMRC Tax Credit Helpline on 0845 300 3900
- Ask at the school office for further advice, or send us an email to admin@northfield.wakefield.sch.uk
If you’re entitled to register for free school meals please do so, even if your child has a packed lunch: school receives extra funding through the Pupil Premium. Please note, it’s your responsibility to renew your child’s entitlement as needed.
