School Meals

At lunchtime, children have the choice to either bring a packed lunch to school or take advantage of a healthy school meal freshly prepared by our catering staff on the school premises. We are able to cater for all dietary needs and our staff are trained to support children who require different feeding methods or who experience difficulty in eating and swallowing.

All children in Key Stage 1 (Reception, Year 1 and Year 2) are entitled to Universal Free School Meals.

Some children may also be eligible for Free School Meals which will entitle the school to receive Pupil Premium funding. 

Pupil Premium

The pupil premium is additional school funding for disadvantaged children. It is paid directly to school to improve the quality of the education for this vulnerable group.

Fairfields may be entitled to Pupil Premium Funding if you receive one of the following benefits:

¨ Income Support

¨ Income Based Job Seekers Allowance

¨ Child Tax Credit Only (with income up to £16,190) with no element of Working Tax Credit

¨ National Asylum Seekers Support

¨ Guarantee Element of the State Pension Credit

¨ Employment and Support Allowance (income related)

¨ Universal Credit (income dependant)

If you meet this criteria your child will also be entitled to Free school meals. This is a service that is available when your child first starts school up to the age of 18 as long as they are in full time education. If you think your child would qualify, please apply even if your child is receiving Universal Infant Free School Meals as this enables Fairfields to gain the additional Pupil Premium Funding.

To apply please go to WNC Free School Meals

Education Health and Care Plans (EHCP)

An EHC plan identifies a child's special educational needs, together with health and social care provision when these services are involved.

The focus of an EHC plan is on what is important for the child or young person - what they want to achieve now and in the future.​

Education, health and care (EHC) plans should be used to actively monitor children's and young people's progress towards their outcomes and longer term aspirations.

EHC plans must be reviewed by the local authority a minimum of every twelve months. These reviews must focus on the child and young person's progress towards achieving the outcomes specified in their plan. The review must also consider whether these outcomes and supporting targets remain appropriate.

A Parent/Carer Guide to the Annual Review

The purpose of an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) is to meet the special educational needs of a child or young person, to secure the best possible outcomes for them across education, health and social care, and as they get older, prepare them for adulthood. An important part of making sure that an EHCP does improve the outcomes for children with SEND is the Annual Review.
