School meals are cooked at Gwersyllt CP next door and brought onto site. Wrexham Council is committed to healthy eating and is working hard with schools to promote the health and welfare of pupils.

All Primary school pupils are entitled to a free school meal thanks to the Welsh Government’s Universal Primary Free School Meals programme. This is the part of the Welsh Government’s response to the rising cost-of-living pressures on families, tackling child poverty and ensuring no child goes hungry in school.
You may also be entitled to additional help through the School Essentials Grant, which includes financial support for uniform, sports equipment and devices.
We urge parents/carers to apply for an entitlement to Free School Meals so that your child receives the maximum support that they’re entitled to. This also supports us as a school to access maximum funding from Welsh Government to support our pupils.
To access this year’s scheme visit the School Essentials Grant page on our website
Please see our Family Engagement Officer for support.
Child starting school? You’ll need a Parent Pay account
For your child to receive a free school meal – Universal Primary Free School Meal or an eligibility-based Free School Meal – you will need an account on the Parent Pay website www.parentpay.com. Here’s how you get one:
1. Email [email protected] with your child’s full name, date of birth and name of their school, and ask for a Parent Pay activation code
2. You will receive an activation code to get your account up and running
If you have any questions about financial help available for your child while they are at school you can contact us at [email protected].
There is an expectation for all parents/carers to pre-order school meals on Parent Pay too. This really helps your child’s school because it means that teachers don’t have to lose valuable teaching time taking meal orders. It also means your child gets their first choice of meal and helps us reduce waste. Once you are set up on Parent Pay, you’ll be able to book your children’s meals up to two weeks in advance.
