At our school, we are proud to offer Family Dining at lunchtime—a special approach that brings students and staff together to share meals in a warm, welcoming environment. Instead of traditional cafeteria lines, children sit at tables setting the table, clearing away chatting and eating together, just like a family would at home. Adults join the tables, model good manners, encourage conversation, and teach students soft skills (like not starting their food until everyone round them has been served) and social etiquette at mealtimes. Meals are served on proper plates with cutlery (no carrying trays), and every child is included, helping to foster a real sense of community and belonging.
Family Dining supports values of respect, responsibility, and togetherness. It helps children build social skills, develop independence, and learn to care for one another. Our staff enjoy spending social time together with their class and can get to know students on a personal level. Sharing food and conversation at the table also strengthens relationships between students and staff, helping to create a positive culture across the school.
Information regarding Free School Meals
Option 1 - Parents charged council tax
Parents who are charged council tax at their address who wish to claim FSM should make a claim using the online standard application form online form.
This is so that both their council tax support and FSM application can be processed at the same time. Also claiming council tax support allows us access to the same systems we used when checking for Housing Benefit claims, resulting in speedier decisions on their application for FSM.
Option 2 - Parents not charged council tax
Those parents who are not charged council tax and are only claiming for FSM (for example parents who are not the lead tenant at the address or parents who live outside of Leeds but whose children attend a Leeds school) should send the FSM only application form. Please speak to the school office for a hard copy.
Parents can hand their FSM claim forms into any One Stop Centre or send them to the following address:
Welfare & Benefits (FSM Claims)
Leeds City Council

School Milk
School Milk Is Available For ALL students in Reception and Nursery
If your child is currently under 5, we’re delighted to confirm that we have arranged for them to receive free milk at school, funded by the UK Government’s Nursery Milk Scheme.
When your child turns 5 or if they are already over 5, school will fund the cost of the milk. If you don't want this, please let us know.
A portion of fresh, chilled milk at mid-morning break provides protein, calcium and other vital nutrients, important for your child’s growth and development. It’s also a great way to bridge the gap between breakfast and lunch, re-hydrating your child and helping them to concentrate in class.
