School meals cost £2.10 and are cooked in school by Norfolk County Services Staff. This includes a two-course lunch and drink. Please ensure all
hot dinner money is paid on the day and is sent into school in a named envelope to be handed to the class teacher by your child when the dinner register is taken. Cheques should be payable to Scarning Primary School.
Our dinner registers are now completed electronically. After the dinner register has been taken we print out a list showing which children have ordered a school lunch. Children are then ticked off the list when they receive their meal. Please make sure your child realises how important it is to get this right when the dinner register is taken. The kitchen only cook for the right number of meals ordered!
Throughout the year special themed lunches are offered, for example Christmas and Easter themed menus. Details are provided nearer the time to all children.
Free School Meals
Children of families receiving Income Support, Employment Support Allowance (Income Related) or Income-Based Job Seekers Allowance are entitled to receive free school meals.
Families receiving Child Tax Credit but who are not entitled to a Working Tax Credit, and whose annual income (as assessed by the Inland Revenue) does not exceed £16,190 are also entitled as are those who receive the Guarantee Element of State Pension Credit.
If you are receiving one of these benefits either contact the office to obtain an application form or call 0344 800 8001 for further advice. You can also print a copy of the free school meals application form here. You no longer need to provide proof that you are receiving benefits – this is now checked by computer. Please return completed forms to the school office to ensure you receive your free meal as quickly as possible.
Additional information and guidance can be obtained by email to admissions@norfolk.gov.uk
Packed Lunches
Children bringing their own lunch to School will need a named lunch 
box/bag which they can place on the lunch rack in their class. Fizzy drinks are not allowed, and we would encourage pupils to bring a healthy lunch if possible.
Please note that we do have a child with a severe nut allergy in school – please do not put any nuts or products that contain nuts in your childs lunch box. This is potentially a very serious problem and we thank you for your help with this.
