School Dinners

Holywell’s kitchen provides exceptional dinners prepared by Miquill Catering.

All children in the Foundation Stage, Year 1, and Year 2 are entitled to a free hot lunch. Additionally, parents and carers of children who receive Income Support or Income-Based Jobseeker's Allowance can claim free school meals for their child. To check eligibility, parents and carers can visit Leicestershire County Council's Parents Portal. For more information and details on how to apply, please follow this link: Free School Meals and Other Support for Disadvantaged Pupils - What You Need to Know.

Our cafeteria system offers a good variety of dishes, including a salad bar and vegetarian options. We are committed to accommodating dietary needs. Please ask if you have specific requirements.

From Autumn 2025, the cost of school dinners will be £2.80 per day or £14.00 per week. Payments should be made through the MCAS App, and parents need to provide payment and meal choices a week in advance.

We expect good table manners and excellent behaviour in our school dining hall. Please ensure your child can use a knife and fork correctly. During lunch breaks, children are supervised by our team of Lunchtime Supervisors and are encouraged to play games, with support from Year 6 helpers. Lunchtime clubs are also available at certain times throughout the year. We believe that children are entitled to a happy and enjoyable lunchtime.
