Students currently entitled to free school meals can purchase food at breakfast, breaktime or lunchtime depending on their preference. The allowance for food for the full day is £3. Parents will need to top up via Parentpay if students go over the £3.00 allowance. Funds do not roll over if the allowance is not used on the day.
Please visit the Gloucestershire County Council Website to apply for school meals
Your child might be able to get free school meals if you get any of the following:
Children who get paid these benefits directly, instead of through a parent or guardian, can also get free school meals.
Schools continue to face financial challenges and the pressures on school funding are unremitting. Like all schools, and particularly in Gloucestershire savings must continue to be made in order to balance the budget each year.
A small monthly donation or a one off payment really can make all the difference!

We have a number of peripatetic teachers who visit Ribston Hall to deliver regular music lessons across a range of instruments. If you wish your child to begin lessons, please contact the teachers below directly to ascertain availability and associated costs. Although peripatetic teachers use the school facility, the arrangements and the communication should be established upon the contract made directly between peripatetic teachers and parents and not the school.
Please follow this link: letter from Gloucestershire Music which provides more information on instrumental lessons and instrument hire - this applies to the parents or guardians of students who wish to learn Bass Guitar, Double Bass or Piano.
