Welcome to Chartwells. We cultivate a love of fantastic food through exceptional school catering services, each brought to life by the passionate, values-driven teams at Primary Schools.
Every day, we connect thousands of pupils and students across the UK to wholesome food and memorable moments, with school food catering that inspires healthy, sustainable behaviours we hope will last a lifetime.
All children in the UK in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 (Key Stage 1) are entitled to a delicious hot meal or packed lunch for FREE. This is called Universal Infant Free School Meals (UIFSM).
From Year 3 (Key Stage 2), your child may still be eligible for free school meals, however this must be applied for here. This is means-tested Free School Meals (FSM).
If you have a child in Key Stage 2 who is in receipt of Free School Meals, you may want to put in an application for your Key Stage 1 child for FSM. Not only does every FSM child bring in extra funding for the school but it also means you will get free school meal vouchers for the holidays - this comes as supermarket vouchers.
The current cost of a hot school dinner is £3.09.

Holiday Return Menu
At the beginning of each new term (and after a half term/Bank Holidays), Chartwells may be unable to serve the advertised menu for the first day of the new week. To enable the advertised menu to be supplied, Chartwells need access to the school during the holiday period. Where access is not available the Holiday Return Menu is provided (jacket potato with a choice of cheese or tuna mayo).
