Year 3
Lunchtime Requirements for September 2019
You may or may not be aware that Universal Free School Meals come to an end when your child leaves Year 2. If you would like your child to continue with school meals in Year 3, a charge of £2.30 per meal would be made payable and entered onto your Parent Pay account. This is unless your child is eligible for a free school meal.
If you would prefer your child to swap and bring a packed lunch each day, please email me at: amanda.milner@manston.leeds.sch.uk by Monday 22nd July 2019.
If we do not receive any notice advising of a change, your child will stay on their current lunchtime choice and if required will be charged for the meals taken.
Please feel free to contact me with any queries, or to double check the meal choice we have for your child.
Many thanks,
Mrs A Milner
Administrative Assistant
School Milk
Please note that under The Nursery Milk Scheme, children do not pay for milk until their fifth birthday. Free milk also applies to any child who qualifies for free school meals. If you feel your child is eligible please visit Leeds City Council website for more information.
If you would like your child to continue to receive milk until their fifth birthday, or if your child qualifies for free school meals and you would like them to receive milk please let me know as soon as possible.
If you require any help or assistance, please feel free to contact me.
Kind regards,
Mrs A Milner
Administrative Assistant
Those who wish their child to receive milk, and have not yet registered, please do get in contact with our administrator Cool Milk on 0844 8542913, or alternatively visit their website www.coolmilk.com
For your information any payments made by Tuesday 5pm to Cool Milk should result in your child receiving milk the following Monday. Payments made after Tuesday at 5pm, would result in your child receiving milk two weeks later.
WE CAN ONLY GIVE MILK TO CHILDREN ON THE WEEKLY DRINKING LIST, WHICH WE RECEIVE FROM COOL MILK. IF YOUR CHILD IS NOT RECEIVING MILK AND YOU HAVE PAID, PLEASE CONTACT COOL MILK ON THE NUMBER ABOVE.
SCHOOL LUNCHES
Manston Primary is a Healthy School with healthy eating being a high priority. Taylor Shaw, our catering contractor, have over 12 years experience providing high quality catering services to schools nationwide. Food is locally sourced, presented and served to appeal to young children. All meals are freshly prepared on site each day in the school kitchen, providing an innovative and well balanced diet for your child. We always have a salad bar option along with vegetarian and non vegetarian options. Please notify us if your child does have any special dietary requirements and we will do our utmost to accommodate them.
Illness/medical appointments
If your child has a medical appointment and will be attending school later in the morning and require lunch, please let your class teacher and Mrs Milner know in advance by letter. Your child can then be included in the daily figures to the kitchen.
KS2
If you child attends school and is taken home ill on a morning before 10.30am a charge for lunch will not be made. After this time - daily figures will have been submitted to the kitchen and a charge will be made.
Golden Table
Each week the lunchtime staff select children who displayed impeccable manners and excellent behaviour during lunchtime to join Mrs Quick for lunch. All children selected receive a certificate in recognition of this during our achievement assemblies.
WATER
As a healthy school, children are encouraged to bring a named water bottle into school should they be thirsty throughout the day. Water is also readily available from dispensers around school to replenish water bottles.
