School Meals
All our school meals are cooked on the premises and are enjoyed by pupils and staff alike. They are delicious and there is lots of choice. As well as the standard Sefton menu, Hatton Hill offers a pasta option for infants and juniors two days per week; plus juniors can access the deli bar daily. The next week’s menu can always be found on the back of your weekly newsletter.
Cost
The cost of school meals is £12.65 per week (£2.53 per day). Dinner money should be paid weekly in advance on Monday. It is important that all dinner money is paid on the Monday to avoid arrears. If dinner money has not been paid for two weeks, you will be asked to provide a packed lunch for your child until the debt has been paid.
Free School Meals
All children in the Infants are now entitled to a free school meal as part of new government initiative. However, you may be in receipt of:
Income Support
Income based Jobseekers Allowance
Income related Employment and Support Allowance
Child Tax Credit ONLY (not entitled/receiving Working Tax Credit) and have an income of less that £16190.00
Guaranteed element of State Pension Credit
Working Tax Credit run-on (paid for the four weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit)
Universal Credit and have a net household income of less than £7400 per annum
Support under VI of the Immigration & Asylum Act
If so, we urge you to still apply for free school meals as this will ensure that our school receives additional funding for your child to which you are entitled. This additional money is called Pupil Premium Funding and details of how it is used to support the learning of children at Hatton Hill Primary can be found on our Pupil Premium tab.

Holiday Vouchers
Currently Sefton are providing vouchers to families during the school holidays if you are eligible for Free School Meals. As such, Hatton Hill will provide £15.00 Asda vouchers, per child per week of the holiday. An email link is sent to families or a paper voucher can be printed.
Nursery/ Pre- school
If you or your partner are in receipt of one of the qualifying benefits and your child attends a Nursery all day at least one day a week, they could be eligible for free school meals.
Alternatively, contact Miss Taylor in our office and she will complete a quick eligibility check on your behalf.
Please note, we cannot offer free school meals to Key Stage 2 children until we have received written confirmation of free school meal entitlement from Sefton Student Support. Free school meals cannot be backdated.
