School Lunches

Please ensure that you top up your School Gateway account in time for Monday 07 September if your child would like to purchase food from our canteen. You can access our current menus and prices here.

Free School Meals (FSM)

If you believe your child is eligible for free school meals, you need to make sure that you have applied on the checking service. Follow this link https://apply.cloudforedu.org.uk/ and enter ‘The University of Birmingham School’ in the school name. If you haven’t applied yet, please do so now. In the meantime, please ensure that there are sufficient funds in your School Gateway account to pay for your child’s lunches. If eligibility for free school meals is confirmed, a credit will be applied to your account. Please note that the allowance for free school meals is £2.85 per day. If your child would like to purchase items over the £2.85 allowance, you will need to ensure there are sufficient funds in your School Gateway account.
