    Think you may be entitled to free school meals? 

    Registering for Free School Meals brings in additional funding to the school as well as ensuring your child has free school meals. All Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are automatically entitled to free school meals and so often parents do not register. You can register at any time... registering now will be useful in case your circumstances change. Once registered the Free School Meal status stays with your child throughout their time at Rushmere. If you want more information... please complete the form below and we'll be in touch. 
    If you know your National Insurance number, please add this because this allows us to check if you are eligible.

EYFS & KS1 Signing In & allergies 
When lunch time begins children are lined up in their classes and reminded of their choices.
They are allocated a card which indicates their choice from their class teacher. They are also allocated a card that shows any particularly allergies that they may have. Different allergies are on different coloured cards. Those with multiple allergies with receive a personalised card.

In order for pupils to receive their lunch they must hand their cards to the kitchen staff who will then serve up the pupils choices. Kitchen staff are also familiar with the allergies that children have and so the card merely acts a reminder and a double checking mechanism. Pupils are also trained to be vigilant and allergy aware and so they are also very good at knowing what they can and cannot eat. 

> Activities available at lunchtimes 
There are a number of activities that are available to the children over the lunch break. These are supervised by our Midday Supervisors. 
- Arts and Crafts
- Basketball 
- Under the tree activities 
- Lego / Football 
- Soft Area games 
- Four Square


There are also a number of clubs which are run by Teaching Staff and Support Staff over the lunch period. These change on a half termly / termly basis and can be booked via ParentMail.
