Please see new dinner menus from September 2025
From September 2023, all pupils in primary school will be eligible for a free meal. Please note this does not include part -time nursery pupils.
Thanks to Welsh Government funding, councils across Wales are extending the availability of free school meals.
The aim of Caerphilly is that every primary school pupil has the opportunity to have a hot meal everyday
If you are on means tested benefits, you can complete the form which means you will also become eligible for the uniform grant.
If you are not in receipt of a means tested benefit, there is no need to apply for the school meals.
We are really excited to be trialling a newly designed school menu for our children, Risca Primary School is the only school in Caerphilly to trial the menu, and in order to ensure that the trial is run successfully we are also working alongside Public Health Wales.. We are really excited to work with a range of agencies to ensure that we successfully trial this new menu and provide healthy meals for all of our children.
