Paying for your child's lunch

 

Meals cost £2.53 per day from September 2024. Bardwell is a cashless school which makes for a more streamlined process. You can pay using your Arbor Account. Please pay for your meals in advance.

​

All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a free school meal

 

This is known as the Universal Infant Free School Meal (UIFSM).

​

Your child may be eligible for free school meals throughout their schooling.
