Healthy, Delicious Meals at Flakefleet
At Flakefleet Primary School, we believe that a healthy, nutritious meal helps children feel ready to learn, play and make the most of their school day.
Our school meals provide children with a choice of tasty, balanced food in a friendly and welcoming lunchtime environment.
We encourage children to try different foods and develop healthy eating habits that they can carry with them as they grow.
School Lunches
School meals are prepared for our children and offer a range of nutritious and appealing choices.
Each day, children can enjoy a balanced meal with options designed to meet a variety of tastes and dietary requirements.
School meal price £3.00 per meal
Please ensure that school meals are paid for through the school’s current payment system.
Free School Meals
Some children may be entitled to Free School Meals (FSM).
If your child is eligible, you may be able to access additional support through the school, including support with the cost of school meals and other school-related expenses.
If you think your child may be entitled to Free School Meals, please contact the school office or visit the relevant Lancashire County Council information.
It is important to apply even if your child is currently entitled to a universal free school meal, as registering for Free School Meals can provide access to additional support for your family and help the school receive additional funding.

Universal Infant Free School Meals
Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a free school meal through the Government’s Universal Infant Free School Meals programme.
You do not need to pay for your child’s school lunch if they are in these year groups.
If your family may also qualify for benefits-related Free School Meals, we encourage you to apply as this can provide additional support for your child and school.
Choosing a School Meal
We want children to feel comfortable and confident when choosing their lunch.
Our lunchtime provision gives children the opportunity to enjoy a nutritious meal with their friends in a relaxed environment.
We encourage children to make healthy choices and to try new foods, while recognising that every child is different.
