We know that eating well-balanced meals throughout the day has a positive impact on students’ focus and attitude to learning.

Did you know – if you receive certain benefits, your child may be entitled to Free School Meals? Every day children and young people across Sheffield are missing out on their free school meal. Sheffield Springs Academy encourages families to check if they are eligible apply here .
