In addition, having school lunches gives children the opportunity to practise important life skills. Our school lunches are provided by Lancashire Catering Services (LCS) and are all freshly prepared in our school kitchen. We serve what is called their 'Fresher Plus' menu which - as you might guess from the name - uses lots of fresh ingredients, many of which are locally sourced. LCS hold the Food for Life Catering Mark, in recognition of the work they do in making their service as good as possible. You can find out more about LCS on their website by clicking [here](http://www.servinglancashire.org.uk/catering/primaryMenus.php). All pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to free school lunches under the government's Universal Infant Free School Meals scheme. However, to make sure the school is funded as well as possible, we still need parents to register for free school meals if they are eligible. To see if your child qualifies for free school meals, click [here](https://www.gov.uk/apply-free-school-meals). For pupils in Years 3-6 (Key Stage 2) who don't qualify for free school meals, the cost of our lunches from September 2026 will be £3 per meal. Payment for school lunches is made on ParentPay; we ask that meals are paid for in advance. We need a week's notice if your child wishes to swap to or from school lunches. The exception to this rule is 'Friday Favourites' and promotion lunches which we have approximately once a month. The Friday Favourites scheme means that any child in school can have a school lunch on a Friday; they just need to tell their class teacher on the day (normal charges apply). The themed promotion lunches work in the same way. As you can see below, we have a 3-weekly rolling menu with some really tasty meals on it. The autumn-winter menu runs up to the Easter break. We like to make our school lunches available to all our pupils, so if your child has any food allergies or dietary requirements, please speak to someone in the school office about this. If you would like your child to start having school lunches, or if you have any questions about them, please contact the school office. ### Lunch Menu Autumn - Winter 2026 125 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-nicholas-blackpool/files/documents/Autumn_-_Winter_Menu_2026.pdf) ### Parents - [Our Prospectus](https://www.st-nicholas-blackpool.org.uk/info-for-parents/prospectus) - [Admissions](https://www.st-nicholas-blackpool.org.uk/info-for-parents/admissions) - [School Uniform](https://www.st-nicholas-blackpool.org.uk/info-for-parents/school-uniform) - [Term Dates](https://www.st-nicholas-blackpool.org.uk/termdates) - [The School Day](https://www.st-nicholas-blackpool.org.uk/info-for-parents/the-school-day) - [Parent Portal](https://www.st-nicholas-blackpool.org.uk/info-for-parents/parent-portal) - [Home School Agreement](https://www.st-nicholas-blackpool.org.uk/info-for-parents/home-and-school-agreement) - [Newsletters](https://www.st-nicholas-blackpool.org.uk/info-for-parents/newsletters) - [Attendance at School](https://www.st-nicholas-blackpool.org.uk/info-for-parents/Attendance-at-school) - [School Lunches](https://www.st-nicholas-blackpool.org.uk/info-for-parents/school-lunches) - [Extended Care Club](https://www.st-nicholas-blackpool.org.uk/info-for-parents/extended-care-club) - [Online Safety](https://www.st-nicholas-blackpool.org.uk/info-for-parents/online-safety) - [Other Useful Information](https://www.st-nicholas-blackpool.org.uk/info-for-parents/other-useful-information) ### [Latest News](https://www.st-nicholas-blackpool.org.uk/news) 14 August 2026 #### [Free School Meals Eligibility Checks](https://www.st-nicholas-blackpool.org.uk/news/2026-08-14-free-school-meals-eligibility-checks) ![St Nicholas Church of England Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-nicholas-blackpool/images/logo/with_god_all_things.jpg) ### Useful Links - [Privacy Notice](https://www.st-nicholas-blackpool.org.uk/privacy-notice) - [Term Dates](https://www.st-nicholas-blackpool.org.uk/termdates) - [Contact Us](https://www.st-nicholas-blackpool.org.uk/contact) - [Our Location](https://www.st-nicholas-blackpool.org.uk/about-us/our_location) - [Staff Area](https://www.st-nicholas-blackpool.org.uk/staff-area) ### Contact Us **St Nicholas Church of England Primary School** School Road Blackpool Lancashire FY4 5DS School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.st-nicholas-blackpool.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/) - [X](http://twitter.com/stnicholas14) © Copyright 2015–2026 St Nicholas Church of England Primary School.
