Cool Milk Scheme
By registering your child for our school milk scheme they will receive a 189ml (third of a pint) of semi-skimmed milk every day. This is delivered fresh and chilled to their classroom every day.
“How much does it cost?”
Thanks to government subsidies, school milk is free for all under-fives and is subsidised at around £18 a term for children aged five or older.
“Why should I register my child?”
School milk provides your child with essential nutrients such as calcium and protein, for strong, healthy teeth and bones. It is also rehydrating and energy boosting, helping to bridge the long gap between breakfast and lunch so children stay focused.
“How do I register my child?”
The school will register your child for milk unless you ask for them not to. Free milk will continue until the Friday before your child’s fifth birthday.
