All Reception and Key Stage 1 children are entitled to a free hot two course meal paid for by the Government as part of the Universal Free School Meal scheme.
All meals are freshly prepared using halal meat and cooked in our kitchens, meals are healthy and include plenty of fruit and vegetables. We also have a salad bar and freshly baked bread available each day.
We also offer a vegetarian and deli select option each day which is also suitable for children with allergies.
Eating a meal together with friends is a social event and is an enjoyable experience for children. It helps them learn the correct use of cutlery for cutting and slicing food and also gives them the responsibility of tidying away plates afterwards.
How do I order school meals for my child?
A dinner register is taken in class each morning and all children are able to select which dinner option they would like that day. All choices are checked for allergies and other dietary requirements before meals are prepared by our catering team.
The options available to choose from will be:
- Hot dish of the day
- Vegetarian option
- Deli Select (which is also allergen aware)
- Packed lunch from home
We also have fruit and milk available for children in Reception and Key Stage 1. Fresh drinking water is available for all children, throughout the day. If you would like to set your child up to receive milk each day this can be done via the Cool Milk website – please click here.
Children also have the option of bringing a healthy packed lunch to school if they prefer. We do encourage parents to only pack healthy items and ask that no sweets or fizzy drinks or nuts are included.
We have two different sittings each lunchtime time, 11.35am-12.25pm for our younger children and 12.30pm-1.15pm to our older children.
