Back to school reminder of free school meals for full time Primary pupils
As the new school year approaches anyone with children in full time Primary are reminded that hot and cold lunches are available every day for free.
Pembrokeshire County Council extended the Universal Free School Meals initiative last September after free meals for all those in Year Two and below was introduced by Welsh Government earlier that year.
There is a two week rolling hot food menu offering tasty, nutritious, balanced food inclusive of all dietary needs. Popular choices include pasta bolognaise, meatballs, and chicken wrap.
There is always a sandwich or jacket potato option for children each day if they do not fancy a hot meal.
All your child has to do is to pick their meal option each morning at registration.
Concerned about allergies - our dedicated team of nutrition specialists can cater for any child that suffers from a food allergy or intolerance too.
If your child has a specific dietary requirement or restrictions please contact our School Liaison Officer via email elinor.phlip@pembrokeshire.gov.uk or telephone 01437 776168.
Cabinet Member for Education and the Welsh Language, Cllr Guy Woodham said: “Last year 925,531 free school meals were enjoyed by learners and we hope to see many more taking advantage this new school year. The catering team at Pembrokeshire County Council do a fantastic job in providing nutritious and tasty meals for your young people.”
The scheme does not replace Free School Meals for those learners whose parents or guardians are receiving qualifying benefits, which allows them to access other financial support for school costs. This includes claiming up to £200 of additional support for School Essentials if your child is eligible for Free School Meals. Take a look at the menus on offer on the Pembrokeshire County Council website and why not give free lunches a go!
