School Meals

At Kippax North Primary School, we pride ourselves in supplying children with excellent food. We feel that it is one of the most important parts of a child’s life - to eat properly. Eating a healthy diet enables a child to live life to the full and gives them a better performance all round specifically helping with their concentration levels – which in turn affects achievement.

So we encourage all of our children to have a school dinner. We have a high uptake of school dinners at our school.

We provide a bespoke menu with three daily options. These meals use fresh produce and are cooked on the premises. The menus have been created by the school in conjunction with the catering agency.

Please let the office know in writing if your child has any special dietary requirements.

Some children prefer to bring a packed lunch from home. We would remind you that healthy eating is the building block for a healthy life for our children and request that sugary drinks are not sent in and treats are limited. Water is provided.

Meals are eaten in the hall for KS1 and KS2, and in the "Hive" (hall in the EYFS building) for Reception and Nursery.

Dinner Money

The price of a school meal is

  • Foundation One - £2.20 per day
  • Foundation Two - Year 2 - Free under the universal FSM scheme
  • Year 3 - Year 6 - £2.52 per day

School dinners are a non-profit-making scheme, and it is therefore important that dinner money is paid promptly. Dinner money can be paid online via Arbor.
