We have been asked by the Telford and Wrekin Catering Team to share the following information with families regarding a price increase in school meals.
From February 2026 the cost of a primary school meal will increase from £2.90 to £3.05. Changes to our charges are usually introduced from April of each year; however, due to increasing cost pressures, it is necessary to bring the changes forward to February 2026. Whilst I am sure that no increase in costs will be welcomed, I hope that you continue to feel that the meals provide value for money, and I thank you for your continued support.

Our freshly prepared school meals are nutritious, great value, and offer a wide variety of choices. Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 will continue to receive a free school meal each day. If you currently pay for school meals but your circumstances have changed, please check your eligibility for free school meals using the link below.

We would also like to kindly remind parents and carers to check your ParentPay balance regularly and ensure accounts are kept topped up and in credit to avoid any arrears.
