Dear Parent/Carer
With the continual challenges we are facing in terms of food inflation and the additional rise in National Minimum Wage and to ensure a sustainable and nutritious meal is provided to the Children, it has been necessary to agree a price increase in relation to the Primary School meal.
From Monday 20th April 2026, Primary School Meals will be charged at £3.08 per day.
The Council and a representation of Primary School leaders undertook a full and transparent review of costs and accepted the new price on the basis that this will be fixed until 31st March 2027.
If your child or children attend an infant school or infant class from Reception to Year 2 (KS1) then school meals will continue to be free to them under the government Universal Infant Free School Meal Scheme.
Thank you for your continued support.
Yours faithfully,
Durham School Meals Board
We will be using the Arbor Parent App in school from now. To get started, please read the following information and get signed up!
We are still using the current apps as usual but we need everyone to download the Arbor App to ensure that the transition over will be successful. If you do not receive an email, please check your junk. We can see when you have signed up so we will keep checking to make sure everyone has.
We will be communicating about the changes via Arbor which will be in the form of emails.
Thank you.
Can you help?
Do you have any of the following for OPAL?
Toy animals and dinosaurs.
Toy food.
Dressing up clothes - not Super Heroes or weapons please. These can include scarves, bags, hats and other things that children can dress in - they do not have to be bought character costumes although these are good too.
Large cushions/bean bags.
Dolls including Barbies and clothes, furniture etc.
Fairy garden items.
Shells, pine cones.
Small world figures.
We have lots of cuddly toys and cooking items for the mud kitchen so we don't need any more of these.
Thank you so much! We're currently having a good tidy and sort out and really could do with replenishing the resources. You can bring them in from tomorrow. Thanks!
