Lunch Menu

Click here for our 'New Winter Menu' which will commence from Monday 4th November 2024.

School Meals

All of our meals are cooked fresh on site and include a vegetarian option.  The children are offered a main course, with an additional fresh salad bar and variety of desserts including fresh fruit.  Meals are eaten in the hall.

The cost of a school meal is £2.50.  We would like payment made in advance in line with our no debt policy. School meals, swimming and trips etc are payable via the ParentMail App.

Thank you for your constant support in making our school a "nut free zone" by avoiding bringing nuts into school at lunchtimes.  We need to continue to protect some of our children with significant allergies.

 

Free School Meals

Free school meals are available to some children according to family income.  It's important to register for entitlement for free school meals, even if your child has a packed lunch - this is so we can receive additional funding (called the pupil premium) which we can use to help your child.

To find out if your child qualifies for free school meals, and for any help or advice, please contact:

School Milk

Our school milk scheme
Did you know our school has a school milk scheme?
By registering your child for our school 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.

“How much does it cost?”
Thanks to government subsidies, school milk is free for all under-fives and is subsided at around £15 a term for children aged five or older.

“Why should I register my child?”
School milk provides your child with essential nutrients such as calcium and protein, for strong, healthy teeth and bones. It is also rehydrating and energy boosting, helping to bridge the long gap between breakfast and lunch so children stay focused.
