If you need transport for your child to attend our school then please contact the team at East Sussex to arrange it. You need to do this even if your child had a taxi to another school before attending The Flagship School. The telephone number for the Admissions and Transport Team at County Hall is 0300 330 9472. They are open for enquiries Monday to Friday 10am to 3pm.

School Meals

We are able to offer all of our pupils a range of choices of hot school meals, or they are welcome to bring in their own packed lunch.

Our school meals also cater for specific diets and lifestyle choices, including vegan and Halal.

The school also provides a free breakfast for all of our pupils, either being bagels and/or cereal and fruit.

The children have their breakfasts and lunches in the classroom with their teaching team, as this supports our ethos of building family style relationships with them.

If you require a hot lunch please email the office on office@theflagshipschool.org.uk.  Lunch costs £2.27 per meal unless your child is in receipt of free school meals.

Menu choices are made by your child each morning.  Menus work on a three-week cycle.
