Passmores provides a variety of food options for students each day.  We have three zones to choose from, known as our launch pads.

Launch Pad One is a traditional cafeteria-style setting, offering healthy, hot, balanced meals with a dessert, for £2.60.

Launch Pad Two is a sandwich-bar-style venue, serving sandwiches and warm paninis.

Launch Pad Three is our outside stall, serving quick-to-collect items.

All of our food is made from fresh ingredients, in-house, every day.

We also offer a variety of quick-to-grab lunch-box items, as well as fresh juice.

You can top up your child’s Arbor account under Accounts -> Meals.

Free School Meals

Your child may be able to get free school meals if you get any of the following:

• Income Support
• income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
• income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
• the guaranteed element of Pension Credit
• Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
• Working Tax Credit run-on - paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
• Universal Credit - if you apply on or after 1 April 2018 your household income must be less than £7,400 a year (after tax and not including any benefits you get)

Children who get paid these benefits directly, instead of through a parent or guardian, can also get free school meals.

Please visit - Free school meals: Apply for free school meals | Essex County Council – to apply for Free School Meals.

The current allocation is £2.60 per day, which will be automatically added every morning for use at both morning break and lunch time.

If your child has free school meals, you can top up your child’s Arbor account under Accounts -> Meals with extra funds which will be debited once the daily free school meal allowance has been used. If the daily allowance is not used, it does not roll over.
