School Meal Increase – February 2026

We have been asked by the Telford and Wrekin Catering Team to share the following information with families regarding a price increase in school meals.

From February 2026 the cost of a primary school meal will increase from £2.90 to £3.05. Changes to our charges are usually introduced from April of each year; however, due to increasing cost pressures, it is necessary to bring the changes forward to February 2026. Whilst I am sure that no increase in costs will be welcomed, I hope that you continue to feel that the meals provide value for money, and I thank you for your continued support.

Our freshly prepared school meals are nutritious, great value, and offer a wide variety of choices. Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 will continue to receive a free school meal each day. If you currently pay for school meals but your circumstances have changed, please check your eligibility for free school meals using the link below.

We would also like to kindly remind parents and carers to check your ParentPay balance regularly and ensure accounts are kept topped up and in credit to avoid any arrears.

Smile4life campaign – Stirchley Dentist

The government have recently launched their Smile4life campaign to encourage all children to attend for a dental check up regularly.

It is a frightening fact that in the UK that 22.4% of 5 year old children have experienced obvious dental decay (in some of our local area’s it is 1 in 3 children) while 16.2% of 10-11 year olds have dental decay in their permanent teeth.

Tooth extraction due to decay is the most common reason for hospital admissions in children age 5-9 years who often attend hospital after weeks of pain and discomfort.

All dental examinations and treatment for children under the age of 18 are free of charge and Stirchley Dentist are working with the government to try and encourage every child in the area to attend a dentist every 6 months.

Please call Stirchley Dental practice on 592658 to make an appointment to take your child/children for an NHS dental check-up before any major problems develop.
