School Meals

Totally Local Company provide a school meal service to our children, which means that your child needs to order the meal of their choice  in advance from the menu provided. Parents can pre-order their child’s meals at home via the School Grid System. From Reception to Year 2 school meals are free under the Universal Free School Meals Government Initiative, however, you still need to choose what your child would like. 

Parents can place an order on their School Grid account up to 8.55am on the same day. 

If you require a School Grid log in, or if you have any questions regarding school meals, please contact the the office staff on 0161 480 5557, and they will be more than happy to help.

Food Allergies:
Please inform school if your child has any allergies.

Is your Child Entitled to Free School Meals?

We encourage all parents / carers to check if their child is entitled to Free School Meals. 

Free School Meal eligibility changed from September 2026 to include all children from households in receipt of Universal Credit regardless of household earnings. There are now 2 categories of benefits-based free school meals

  • Targeted Free School Meals
  • Expanded Free School Meals

You can get Targeted Free School Meals if you are responsible for a child (receive Child Benefit for them) who is at school. This includes nursery children who attend full days at a school nursery. You must also get one of these qualifying incomes:

  • Universal Credit (provided your income is less than £7,400 a year after tax and not including any benefits you get
  • Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
  • The guaranteed element of the State Pension Credit

You can get Expanded Free School Meals if you receive Universal Credit and are responsible for a child (receive Child Benefit for them) who is at school. This includes nursery children who attend full days at a school nursery.

Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) sessions are only available to those in receipt of Targeted Free School Meals.

Households with no recourse to public funds may also be entitled to a free school meal if they meet the criteria. Please email benefitsfsm@stockport.gov.uk for more information.

Free School Meal eligibility will be monitored on an on going basis through regular checks.

It is very important that we know who is entitled to free school meals, not only so that we can provide your child with a lunch free of charge each day but also because the school may receive additional funding which we will use to support your child's education and ensure they reach their full potential.
