School Meals at Stoke Park
Our school dinners are cooked on site daily and provided by the catering company Aspens.
School meals are booked and paid for in advance online via 'SwiftKitchen'. There is a choice of meals and these choices are made at the time of booking. The latest menu can be found here.
All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a free school meal (known as Universal Free School Meals), regardless of income or eligibility for benefits. These meals should still be chosen and booked online, even though no payment is required.
Children are also welcome to bring a packed lunch, please see our 'packed lunch and snack policy' which gives guidance on healthy lunchboxes. Please remember that we are a 'no nuts' school, due to children with severe allergies.

Pupil Premium
The Pupil Premium is extra funding for every child who is eligible for free school meals throughout their time at school, regardless of their year group.
We ask all parents to find out if their child can get free schools meals and to register for Pupil Premium funding, even if they are in Reception or Key Stage 1 and don't pay for their meals.
Pupil Premium funding comes directly to the school and helps to pay for things like school trips, breakfast clubs, or additional teachers and assistants to provide extra support and 1 to 1 tutoring.
At Stoke Park Primary we offer the following to all families who successfully register:
- One free school sweat shirt per year
- A free book bag
- Subsidised trips
- Subsidised clubs and activities
- A subsidised place on the Residential Trip in Year 6, for all children who register and renew their registration when required
