School meals in Hartlepool

Primary school meals

We offer fresh, locally sourced meals that meet national school food regulations. Our menus are designed to promote balanced diets using a colour-coded system to help children make healthy choices.

  • Menus are updated each spring and autumn
  • Theme days are held to celebrate events and support curriculum activities
  • Special dietary needs (for example allergies, intolerances, religious preferences) are accommodated - please contact your school directly

Primary school lunch cost: £13.95 per week (£2.79 per day) as of 1 September 2025

Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 pupils receive free school meals automatically. Children in Years 3 to 6 still have to pay for lunch unless they are eligible for free school meals.
