Lunch

Universal Primary Free School Meals (UPFSM)

Following a successful rollout, all full time primary aged children are in receipt of a Universal Primary Free School Meal (UPFSM) funded by the Welsh Government and catered for by Carmarthenshire County Council. All of the menus comply with Healthy Eating in Schools (Nutritional Standards and Requirements) (Wales) Regulations 2013 which became legislative in September 2013. These food regulations are designed to reduce the amount of fat, sugar and salt served in school food. By carefully sourcing reduced fat and/or salt ingredients and adopting good practices such as oven baking and steaming, we can continue to provide pupils with traditional favourite dishes such as traditional roast dinners, Homemade Curry and Rice and a variety of Pasta dishes and desserts to include Homemade Sponge and Custard and Rice Pudding. 

Primary pupils receive a two course main meal to include a vegetarian option and a dessert. Fresh Fruit and drinking water is also readily available in all schools. The menu cycles run on a 3 week rotational basis which are changed twice a year in May and October to allow for seasonal variances. 

You do not have to apply for UPFSM but you must notify the school of any dietary requirements your child may have.

Free School Meal (FSM) grant

A free school meal grant (FSM) depends on your household income and whether you receive certain benefits. If you meet the eligibility criteria it is extremely important that you claim for this. The meal your child receives will be no different and it will mean you are eligible to receive additional support during school holidays or in the event of school closures and possibly a uniform grant.

If you think you may be eligible for free school meals, please apply on the authority's website. 

The full menu is available on Parent Pay where you can pre-book a school meal. Log in details for each school pupil are available from the school administration officer.
