Chartwells Menu for April 2021 - April 2022 Hot Meals Good food and good food culture has been shown to lead not only to healthier, happier and more fulfilled children, but to improved educational attainment. Hot meals at our school are provided by Chartwells. The school orders hot meals for children in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 and for those children in Year 3 and above who are eligible for free school meals. Parents/carers can order meals for children in Year 3 or above through the Chartwells Meal Selector website. Menu Choice Chartwells order in a selection of items from the menu to achieve the total quantity of meals required on a daily basis, with the aim of meeting dietary needs, minimising waste and providing choice where possible. Jacket potatoes are part of this order. We respectfully ask parents and children to consider all the menu choices for each day as we are not able to guarantee a child will get their first choice from the menu. If parents have further queries concerning menu choice please contact the Chartwells office on 73041@compass-group.co.uk. Allergy/intolerance, Faith Meals, Vegetarian, Vegan or Pescatarian Diets Please download the West Sussex Special Diet information booklet below, which provides you with information and guidance on special diets and other diets, and includes an application form so that you can notify Chartwells. Children with a special diet will be given a lanyard and children with a vegetarian, vegan or cultural diet will be given a wristband to wear during lunch service. This is to help Chartwells staff to provide the correct meal. How to Order and Pay for meals Parents can register their children in Year 3 and above for hot meals via the Chartwell's Meal Selector website www.mealselector.co.uk. You will find full instructions on how to register and order meals on the website. Meal orders can be made online at any time up until cut off time of midnight on Sunday – 7 days before the full week in which the meal is to be served. Hot meals cost £2.35 each which is paid when the booking is made. New to Year 3 from September 2021 Free School Meals Universal Infant Free School Meals Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to free school meals. Free School Meals and the Pupil Premium If your child is in Year 3 and above they may still be eligible to receive free school meals which could save you more than £450 a year, as well as providing £1320 additional funding to the school via Pupil Premium funding. The Government is giving money to schools to help children from lower income families do their very best. No one will know you have registered and it will not affect any other benefits you are claiming.
