Cool Milk

Our school milk scheme

If you would like your child to have milk at school you will need to order it directly through ‘Cool Milk’. To be able to do this you must first register with Cool Milk.

School milk is free for under-5s, and for over-5s it is available at a subsidised* price of 28p per day.

Each child that registers with Cool Milk will receive a 189ml portion of semi-skimmed milk every day, delivered fresh and chilled to the classroom. Their school milk will not only provide them with essential nutrients, but as it is rehydrating and energy boosting it also bridges the gap between breakfast and lunch to help children stay focused. For more information on how milk can benefit children visit www.coolmilk.com/why-milk-is-great.
