Catering
Our catering supplier at Elworth CE is now Chartwells.
Meals still cost only £2.20 each and snacks for morning break range from 25p - 50p. All KS1 pupils are entitled to a free school meal. We operate a cashless till where parents pay funds into the child’s account (via online payments or cash/cheque in a suitably marked envelope in the red/yellow cash box at reception) which should always be in credit. The pupils order their lunch from the menu at morning registration - this is to ensure they have their choice rather than what is left – and the cost is deducted at the point of service. Online payments can be made by registering at www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/schoolshop , cheques for meals/snacks should be made payable to Cheshire East BC with Elworth CE marked on the back please. Each week parents receive a statement by email showing what their child/ren have munched their way through.
If you get any of the following support payments your child may be entitled to receive free school meals (KS2)/pupil premium (KS2 & KS1):

If you believe you may be eligible for free school meals/pupil premium please contact the Business Manager to discuss how we can help with this - even if your child recieves a free meal under the KS1 programme. Benefits may be available such as discounts on trips and other subsidies.
