Our School Lunches are provided by Caterlink.
We are very fortunate at Clearwell C of E Primary School as we have a fantastic onsite Catering Manager – Mrs Thomas, who produces delicious hot and cold meals daily with over 70% of the school taking a school lunch - and most of the staff.
Payment for school lunches can be made using the Parent Pay online system. Please click here to pay online or contact Mrs Tarry if you are a new user and would like a password.
A copy of the School Meals Debt Policy is also available.
The current menu is provided by Caterlink and is shared with parents on Edulink. There may be some slight adjustments as Mrs Thomas knows if the children don’t like a particular option and offers something different. She also caters for individual dietary needs.

Our school milk scheme
Did you know our school provides a school milk scheme?
By registering your child for our school milk scheme, they will receive an 189ml (third of a pint) carton of semi-skimmed milk every day. This is delivered fresh and chilled to their classroom every day.
How much does it cost?
Thanks to government subsidies, school milk is free for all under-fives and is subsidised at around £15 a term for children aged five or older.
Why should I register my child?
School milk provides your child with essential nutrients. It also rehydrates and boosts energy, helping bridge the long gap between breakfast and lunch so children stay focused.
Find out the top ten reasons to drink school milk at Why School Milk.
How do I register my child?
If your child is under five:
1. Go to Cook Milk or pick up a form from school.
2. Just register by a Tuesday for your child’s free milk to start the following week.
3. Free milk will continue until the Friday before your child’s fifth birthday. You will receive a payment request three weeks before this time- if you wish for your child to continue to receive school milk simply make a payment.
If your child is over five:
1. Go to Cook Milk or pick up a form from school.
2. Pay Cool Milk online, over the phone, at a local PayPoint or by cheque in instalments to suit you. If registering online you can pay straight away, if using a registration form you will need to wait to receive a payment request.
