Cool Milk Scheme
Did you know our school has a school milk scheme? It’s called Cool Milk!
By registering your child for the Cool Milk scheme, they will receive a 189ml (third of a pint) carton of semi-skimmed milk every day.
This is delivered fresh and chilled to their classroom every day.
Why Should I Register My Child For The Scheme?
Milk is excellent as a mid-morning drink. It provides a nutritional boost and keeps children hydrated between breakfast and lunch, helping them to concentrate and learn.
Why is Semi-Skimmed Milk Offered Rather Than Whole Milk?
- It provides children with the same nutrients as whole milk
- It is a good source of energy
- It has 55% less saturated fat than whole milk
- It even contains slightly more calcium than whole milk
How Much Does It Cost?
Thanks to government subsidies, school milk is free for all under-fives and is subsided at around £16 a term for children aged five or older.
How Do I Register My Child?
If your child is under five-
- Go to www.coolmilk.com.
- Just register by a Tuesday for your child’s free milk to start the following week.
