Parents often ask us how they can order school meals for their children, so we wanted to remind you of the simple steps you should take…

If your child is in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2; you are entitled to Universal Infant Free School Meals (UIFSM)! Simply contact your school and order directly. Easy, and totally free! What’s not to love?

Sign-up can vary for other year groups. Different schools operate different ordering methods; some will have online ordering and payment while others will take orders directly through the school or over the phone via a local Chartwells office.

Each school is different, so if you're unsure on how to claim your UIFSM, your pupil premium entitlement or how to sign-up to school meals then please contact your school directly.
