Prosper Eats at Kingshurst Primary School
Good food, cooked in our own kitchen
Lunch at Kingshurst is cooked in school every day by Helen and her kitchen team. They are part of Prosper Eats, our trust's own catering service, and they know our children well.
Our kitchen holds a food hygiene rating of 5, the highest available.
This term's menus
Our menus run on a three-week rotation, so your child gets plenty of variety. The current menus run from 1 September to 14 December 2026.
What it costs
- Reception, Year 1 and Year 2: free for every child
- Years 3 to 6: £2.90 a day, or £14.50 a week
Free school meals
Every child in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 gets a free school lunch. You don't need to apply.
From Year 3, your child can get free school meals if you receive Universal Credit, whatever your household earns. This rule changed in September 2026, so you may qualify now even if you didn't before.
It takes a few minutes to apply through Solihull Council:
- Go to www.solihull.gov.uk, choose 'Apply for it', then 'Schools'
- Or call the council on 0121 704 6611
If your child is in Reception to Year 2 and you receive Universal Credit, please still apply. It brings extra funding into school for your child.
It is essential that you inform us of any allergies your child may have, so that we can ensure they are not given anything that will harm them.
Fruit Scheme
You may have heard about the National Fruit Scheme for children between the ages of 4 and 6 years old. Under the scheme, each child will be entitled to receive a free piece of fruit each school day. Scientists agree that everybody, including children, can reduce their risk of heart disease and cancer by eating at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables every day. On average, children in the UK currently eat only 2 portions a day.
Our school participates in this scheme, which reinforces our commitment to healthy eating. Your child will be offered ‘the fruit of the day’ at morning break.
If your child has sandwiches for lunch, please note the scheme is not intended to replace any fruit that you may normally include in your child’s packed lunch. The purpose of the scheme is to increase a child’s daily intake of fruit.
The aim is for the children to have a positive and enjoyable experience of fruit.
Toast Scheme
Reception to Year 6 children can have toast supplied at morning break-time each day at a cost of 30p per day.
If you would like your child to be part of the toast scheme, this must be paid for (for the whole half term, in full) by the beginning of each half term, online via Parentpay or by bar coded letter, which can be obtained from the school office.
If you require any further information about either the School Milk or Toast Schemes, simply call into school to see us.
PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately, refunds will not be made for either of the schemes in the event of your child being absent from school.
Reminder - It is essential that you inform us of any allergies your child may have, so that we can ensure they are not given anything that will harm them.
