Menus and FSM Information
All infant children are entitled to a prepared school lunch at no charge. This is funding that the Government has introduced to schools under the ‘Universal Free School Meals’ scheme. Our meals are prepared on site each day by our wonderful catering team. The children can select from three different choices each day, and will order this during registration time.
Whilst you may opt to send your child to school with a packed lunch, as a 'Healthy School', it is our responsibility to ensure the children in our care eat a balanced diet. Please remember we are a "NO NUT" school.
We will endeavour to cater for all of your child’s dietary needs. If you have any concerns regarding this, please do not hesitate to contact office@tais.leics.sch.uk
Free School Meals
Does your child qualify for free school meals?
Our school will receive £1,900 per pupil for each child who is registered as eligible for Free School Meals. If your child is eligible – register now to ensure your child’s entitlement! Even if you choose not to use the free school dinner service, your child can still benefit from resources and extra support to help with reading, writing and maths. From when registered eligible to when your child leaves school, this amount and more will continue to be put into the school budget to support your child.
