Hillside Primary School
School Dinners
The cost of a school dinner is currently £2.40 a day. All full-time children up to the end of Year 2, are able to have a free school dinner as part of the government’s Universal Free School Meals scheme. This only entitles them to a school dinner. If you are receiving certain benefits, you may be entitled to benefit-related free school meals. This will also mean your child will receive free milk and extra money to support their learning. You will need to register each child individually. This has to be done online, via the Kirklees Council website. If you need support doing this, please contact Mrs Mellor, who can apply on your behalf.
We hold regular ‘themed’ lunches, such as Bonfire Night, Chinese New Year and Christmas. These are offered to children who normally have a packed lunch and prove very popular. We also offer a ‘Friday Feast’, where packed lunch children can have a school dinner once a week. Look out for texts and emails.
Our school meals are provided by Caterlink. Please take a look at the exciting menu below. You will also find a letter from Caterlink's CEO.
Please remember that school dinners are now chosen by parents & carers at home, rather than by the children in school. This is done through the Arbor App. If you are having any difficulties with accessing Arbor, please call into the school office, where staff will be able to help you. You need to choose your child's lunch even if they have a packed lunch.

Please be aware that we are a nut-free school, due to having children with nut allergies. Please check that your child's packed lunch does not include items containing nuts. This may include some chocolate spreads and ceral bars.
