School meals
As a school we’re proud of our school meals service. We are able to offer both hot food and rolls every day of the week.
School meals cost £2.30 per day (£11.50 per week). Dinner money (payable to Chrishall Holy Trinity & St Nicholas CE (A) Primary School) must be paid in advance either daily, weekly, half termly or termly. We can now take online payments through Scopay - if you have not yet received the registration details please contact the school office.
If a school meal has to be taken in an emergency and arrears are incurred, this will only be accepted for one week. A note will be sent at the end of the week for payment on the following Monday and the child MUST have packed lunches until the arrears are paid.
As of September 2014 all children in Reception and Key Stage 1 (years 1 and 2) are entitled to a free school dinner

Free school meals
General information on Free School Meals is available from the govenrment website: https://www.gov.uk/apply-free-school-meals
The Essex Free School Meals service has a web site which gives further details and the facility to apply on line: - Essex
You should apply through Essex as the school is in Essex.
- Even if your child is in receipt of universal infant free school meals (i.e. where your child is in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2), you can still apply if you believe you may be eligible for free school meals, because the protection will continue beyond Year 2 and your child may be eligible for Pupil Premium funding.
Current menu
If your child has special dietary requirements these have been accommodated within the main menu this term - please see the Specific Dietary requirements line (in addition dairy free and milk free options have been marked with DF or MF)
Winter Menu 2021 - Includes special dietry requirements option.
Dinner registers
If your child is going to be late in for any reason, i.e. Medical appointments, please contact the school office by 9.30am with their lunch requirements. We need to inform the kitchen staff by 9.30 am of choices so that they have time to prepare.
Dinner money balances
Credits arising from previous terms are carried forward and you will have been notiified of the amount at the end of the previous term. Please take any money in credit off from the total for the current half term.
If you have incurred arrears from a previous term please include this amount with your first payment for the new term as dinner money needs to be paid in advance.
