Revised School Meals Charges April 2026 – Primary Schools

As you will no doubt be aware, food and raw material costs have continued to rise sharply over the past year and further increases are forecast. Sefton Catering have continued to absorb as much of this as possible, it has unfortunately now been deemed necessary to increase the price of a school meal. The previous price increase was in April 2024.  With effect from 1^st April 2026 the cost of a set meal provided to all primary schools will be increased by 3% from £2.53 to £2.65 for pupils.  If you would like your KS2 child to change to packed lunch or from packed lunch to dinners, please contact the school office, the school office will require 1 week notice to amend the pattern.
