School Dinners
Venn are excited to share our new school meals service with you!
It’s designed to be kind to the planet and include everyone. With our pre-order system, we waste less food, so every meal is fresh and tasty.
We can offer different menu options like gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, and halal, all in a nut-free environment. This means every student can have a safe and yummy nutritious lunch, making it easy and worry-free for everyone.
What makes our service special is that the menus at each school are created by the students themselves. This makes lunchtime more fun because our students get to choose what they want to eat. Plus, these healthy and delicious meals cost just £1.50 each, no matter where the school is based. This makes it affordable for all families, and all children can enjoy high-quality meals.

Free School Meals
At all our schools, children in reception, year one, and year two can get a free school lunch thanks to the Government’s UIFSM program, but this can change anytime.
To help the school get extra money for fun trips and resources, parents need to fill out the Free School Meals (FSM) forms, even if they’ve done it before.
Families getting certain types of financial help are eligible for free school meals, and it’s important for parents to re-register to keep the support going. Families receiving Income Support, Employment Support Allowance (income-related), Income-based Job Seekers Allowance, Universal Credit, or support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 are eligible for free school meals when in year three and beyond.
