BSL Food Group

The BSL Food Group are the student link with Mellors Catering and School Services Manager. The group work on projects such as the introduction of the new School Food Standards which involved replacing popular products with new ‘compliant’ products. In conjunction with Mellors Catering, they organised a competition for healthy eating and a competition to create a ‘compliant’ quick snack which is now on sale and becoming a very popular item! This year they are focusing on encouraging healthy eating in and out of school.

Free School Meals

The free school meal allowance is £2.85.Students who are entitled to Free School Meals have their daily allowance automatically credited to their Cashless Card Account each day in time for break (any unspent allowance will be removed at the end of the school day). Students can top this up with additional money if they want to via ParentPay. Cashless Cards credited with Free School Meals look just the same as any other card (no-one will know that the student is claiming a Free School Meal).

There is also good news for families, as the Government is expanding Free Schools Meals from September 2026. This means that more families receiving Universal Credit may now be eligible for free school meals for their children. Bradford Council is currently updating its guidance and application process. We will share further information about eligibility and on our meals. Thank you for your continued support.
