There is always a choice and the meals are balanced and nutritious. A register is taken each morning so that children can choose a school dinner or a packed lunch depending on the menu for that day. Dinner money is preferably paid online direct to Whole School Meals at [www.wholeschoolmeals.co.uk](https://wholeschoolmeals.co.uk/) or collected in the morning and cost £2.75 per day, £13.75 per week. **Universal Free School Meals** are provided to all children in Reception, Year 1 & Year 2 and do not need to be applied for. In addition **Free School Meals** are available for children whose family circumstances make them eligible for them. An application form is available below or please speak to the school, in confidence, and we will be happy to help. If your child qualifies for free school meals, even if they are in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2, we would still ask you to apply for them. This will ensure your child continues to receive free school meals when they move in to Year 3, entitles them to free milk each day should they wish and also provides additional funding for the school. ### **Packed Lunches** Children bringing packed lunches should do so in a named strong packed lunch container. We ask parents to provide a healthy and balanced packed lunch which your child will enjoy eating. Please include some fruit in your child’s packed lunch and do not send fizzy drinks, sweets, bars of chocolate or items containing nuts. ### **Snacks at Playtime** To emphasise good dental hygiene and nutritional habits children are not allowed to bring sweets into school. If they bring their own snack from home then these snacks must be fresh fruit or vegetables. Children in Fledglings and Years 1 and 2 receive free fruit in the afternoon as part of the government initiative. ### Menus Menu - 2nd November 2026 to 25th March 2027 1.85 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/files/documents/Autumn_Menu.pdf) Menu - 2nd November 2026 to 25th March 2027 - Allergen and Carb Count 42 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/files/documents/Allergen_-_Carb_Count_November_2026.xlsx) Menu - 2nd November 2026 to 25th March 2027 - Week 1 Dairy and Gluten Free Information 75 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/files/documents/Menu-s_WEEK_1.xlsx) Menu - 2nd November 2026 to 25th March 2027 - Week 2 Dairy and Gluten Free Information 74 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/files/documents/Menu-s_WEEK_2.xlsx) Menu - 2nd November 2026 to 25th March 2027 - Week 3 Dairy and Gluten Free Information 74 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/files/documents/Menu-s_WEEK_3.xlsx) #### **Useful links** [Whole School Meals ](https://wholeschoolmeals.co.uk/) ### Free School Meal Information Free School Meals Application Form 102 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/files/documents/FSMS_Application_Form.pdf) Free School Meals Poster 162 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/files/documents/Free_School_MealsPoster.pdf) ### Parents - [Attendance](https://www.eastry.kent.sch.uk/parents/attendance) - [Calendar](https://www.eastry.kent.sch.uk/calendar) - [Clubs](https://www.eastry.kent.sch.uk/parents/clubs) - [Free 11+ prep & KS2 Learning](https://www.eastry.kent.sch.uk/parents/free-11-prep-ks2-learning) - [Letters](https://www.eastry.kent.sch.uk/parents/letters) - [Medication & Care Plans](https://www.eastry.kent.sch.uk/parents/medication-care-plans) - [Parent Engagement](https://www.eastry.kent.sch.uk/parents/survey-results) - [PTFA](https://www.eastry.kent.sch.uk/parents/pta) - [On-line Safety](https://www.eastry.kent.sch.uk/safeguarding/on-line-safety) - [Our School Day](https://www.eastry.kent.sch.uk/parents/our-school-day) - [School Meals](https://www.eastry.kent.sch.uk/parents/school-meals) - [School News](https://www.eastry.kent.sch.uk/parents/newsletters) - [School Uniform](https://www.eastry.kent.sch.uk/parents/school-uniform) - [Term Dates](https://www.eastry.kent.sch.uk/termdates) - [Useful Links](https://www.eastry.kent.sch.uk/parents/useful-links) ![Eastry Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/images/logo/Untitled_design_(2).png) #### Eastry Primary School Cook's Lea Eastry Sandwich CT13 0LR 01304 611360 #### Useful Links - [Ofsted](https://www.eastry.kent.sch.uk/our-school/ofsted) - [Policies](https://www.eastry.kent.sch.uk/our-school/policies) - [Attendance](https://www.eastry.kent.sch.uk/parents/attendance) - [Contact Us](https://www.eastry.kent.sch.uk/contact) #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/eastrycofeprimary/directory_personal_details?locale=en_GB) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/eastrycofeprimary/) © Copyright 2019–2026 Eastry Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.eastry.kent.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/) ![](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/images/splash/Banner.png)
