School meals are provided by ABM catering and we are lucky to have an excellent kitchen on our school site.

Parents should pay for school meals via their Arbor account. The children will be asked during registration every morning in their classroom whether they wish to have hot or cold school meal. Please see the current menu to see the meal options.

ABM catering require you to complete a form highlighting any dietary requirements. Please click on the link on this letter: Special Diet Letter – Bromley Heath Junior School to complete the form.

The cost of a school meal is £2.30.  Facilities are provided for children to bring packed lunches, if preferred. Lunch boxes must be clearly marked with the child’s name and contain their lunchtime food only. Cold drinks may be brought to school in shatterproof containers [hot drinks are not allowed]. Milk (1/3 pint) for consumption at mealtimes must be ordered in advance through School Milk Services Ltd (tel: 01934 510950).

FREE SCHOOL MEALS – HOW TO APPLY

​Your child may be able to get free school meals if you get any of the following:

  • Income Support
  • income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
  • income-related Employment and Support Allowance
  • support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
  • the guaranteed element of Pension Credit
  • Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
  • Working Tax Credit run-on – paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
  • Universal Credit – if you apply on or after 1 April 2018 your household income must be less than £7,400 a year (after tax and not including any benefits you get)

If your child is eligible for free school meals, they’ll remain eligible until they finish the phase of schooling (primary or secondary).

In addition, the school would receive additional funding for your child which we can use to support their provision: currently this is usually through additional reading support and support with trips and camp.
