School Dinners
At Luttons Primary Academy we strive to provide our children with a healthy, delicious meal each day. Our catering staff work with us to ensure a choice of dishes each day to include a hot meal, a vegetarian option, choice of baked potato and a freshly made sandwich/salad. A menu is available below or please request a printed version from our Reception desk. Special menus are available at Christmas and other key dates. See menus for Autumn Term 2026 here: Dinner menu – 2026 Autumn
Free School Dinners
From September 2026 there will be three types of free school meal:
- Targeted FSM: pupils in households with earned income under £7,400
- Expanded FSM: all other pupils in families receiving Universal Credit
- Universal Infant Free School meals: these will continue for all pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 who don’t qualify under either of the above criteria. Families do not need to apply for these.
Please click the following link to register your details for our Free School Meal checking service: https://apply.cloudforedu.org.uk/ofsm/eboracademytrust
If at any point while your child is at school with us you become eligible for Free School Meals the system will let you know. Our school gets crucial funding so please register your details even if you are not eligible today. Alternatively please call into the school office of a Free School Meal application form.
If you are eligible for Free School Meals, it may be that your child will still prefer to bring a packed lunch on some days, or even every day, but as registering for free school meals also brings extra funding to our school to spend in the classrooms, we are keen to encourage as many parents as possible to register.
If your child prefers a packed lunch from home please see advice on healthy packed lunches on the NHS website https://www.nhs.uk/healthier-families/recipes/healthier-lunchboxes/#tips
Paying for School Dinners
The current cost of a school meal is £3.15. We ask that you pay for all meals in advance. Please login in to your Arbour account, if you need help to do this please contact the school office.
Packed Lunches
Whilst we feel that all children benefit from a freshly cooked meal at lunchtime we understand that some parents prefer to send in a packed lunch. If this is the case we ask that you provide a healthy lunch which includes a balanced variety of food groups. Sweets and fizzy drinks are not allowed. This also applies to packed lunches for educational visits.
Please note: We are a NUT FREE school – thank you.
