Garden Kitchen

At St. Matthew’s, we pride ourselves on delivering a delicious, balanced and nutritious menu to our children every day.  

Garden Kitchen operates in most of the Bishop Wilkinson CET schools now and the uptake of school meals in St. Matthew’s has been consistently above 90% over the last 3 years.  That is largely down to the wonderful work of our in-house catering team led by Mrs. Paula Potter.

Every day, our children can choose from a main meal, vegetarian option, pasta dish or jacket potato.  There’s also a delicious pudding every day as well as fresh fruit, yoghurts or cheese and biscuits  to choose from.

*Please note that all menus are available to view on the Arbor app.  Also note that at St. Matthew’s we have switched our Wednesday and Thursday menu.  

Is your child eligible to receive free school meals?

Universal free school meals
All pupils in reception, year one, and year two are entitled to a free meal, without having to apply for this option. However, if you feel you may be eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) it is important that you apply immediately as FSM eligibility means other resources may be available to the school and your child including pupil premium. Please complete an eligibility check for FSM when applying to a School, please do not wait until your child is in year 3.

Eligibility for free school meals The government has made amendments to the eligibility criteria since April 2018. This is to reflect the introduction of Universal Credit.  Free school meals are available to pupils in receipt of, or whose parents are in receipt of, one or more of the following benefits:
  • Universal Credit
  • Provided you have an annual net income of no more than £7,400
  • This is assessed by earnings from up to three of your most recent assessment periods
  • Income Support
  • Income-based Job Seekers Allowance
  • Income related Employment and Support Allowance
  • Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
  • The guarantee element of Pension Credit
  • Child Tax Credit
  • Provided you are not entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190
  • Working Tax Credit run on
  • Paid four weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
 
However, if you feel you may be eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) it is important that you apply immediately as FSM eligibility means other resources may be available to the school and your child including pupil premium.
