Lunchtime
Aspens provide Wellstead’s school lunches.
Aspens are a nationwide catering contractor that specialises in school food. Please see below for current menus.
All ordering and payments are completed online (via the Swift Kitchen app) by parents and carers at home. There's always a choice of meat/ vegetarian/ jacket potato/ or pasta.
The price of a school meal is £2.85. Children who are eligible for free school meals and those in Reception, Years 1 & 2 will continue to receive their free meals as before.
Aspen’s standard menus are completely nut free but for those children with a food allergy, Aspens have a standard Allergy Menu that is safe for all 14 allergens.
We've compiled an FAQ document to support families with ordering on Swift Kitchen. Please see below.

Free School Meals Eligibility
Remember that all children in Years R, 1 and 2 are entitled to the Universal Infant Free School Meal. Registration is not required for UIFSM.
But schools get government funding for all children who meet the standard free meal criteria. The funding is called the Pupil Premium. To let schools get the funding for as many pupils as possible, we encourage parents of children who meet the standard free meal criteria to register. This includes parents of children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2.
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)
