Milk

Someries Infant School and Early Childhood Education Centre provides a milk scheme available to all of our pupils. This scheme is operated by a third-party provider called Cool Milk.

School milk is free for under-5s, and, for over-5s, it is available at a subsidised price.

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. School milk will not only provide your child with essential nutrients, but as it is rehydrating and energy boosting, it also bridges the gap between breakfast and lunch to help them stay focused.

How to register

If your child will be under five when they begin attending Someries Infant School and Early Childhood Education Centre:

  • register online at Cool Milk’s website
  • register by a Tuesday at 5 p.m. for your child’s free milk to start the following week
  • free milk will continue until the Friday before your child’s fifth birthday (you will receive a payment request four weeks before their birthday; if you wish your child to continue to receive school milk, make a payment)

If your child will be five or older when they begin attending Someries Infant School and Early Childhood Education Centre:

  • register and pay online at Cool Milk’s website
  • you can pay Cool Milk either online, over the telephone or at a local PayPoint in half-termly, termly or annual instalments
  • please pay by a Tuesday at 5 p.m. for your child’s milk to start the following week

If you have any questions regarding school milk, please visit Cool Milk’s website or contact Cool Milk directly by telephoning 0844 854 2913.

Lactose-free milk and soya milk

Unfortunately due to low demand and limited supply availability with local dairies, Cool Milk cannot offer lactose-free or soya milk products.

However, if your child is lactose intolerant or vegan, the school can provide a daily lactose-free semi-skimmed milk or soya milk alternative.

The school manages this scheme directly at a charge of £2 per week. You can order and pay for your child’s alternative milk via Arbor.

Please complete this registration form to indicate which alternative milk you want your child to receive in school.

Note on fees: Fees may increase or otherwise vary throughout the academic year.
