School lunches

Your child is welcome to bring a nutritious packed lunch or have a cooked school dinner.

School Lunch Menu

The menus are rotated every week, to ensure that children experience variety and choice. Every morning children will be asked to choose their lunch from that day's menu. There is a vegetarian choice every day.
Please see the menu attached.

Dinner Money
All meals are paid for on Schoolmoney, please credit your schoolmoney account before your child orders in school.

Packed Lunches
Please place them in a lunch box clearly marked with the child's name. For safety reasons please do not include glass, fizzy, canned or hot drinks with packed lunches. We hope that you will encourage your child to eat healthily, as we do in school. For further information about ways to get healthy and active, visit the Change 4 Life NHS web site.

Snacks
We allow children to bring in a healthy snack at morning break times and all Foundation stage pupils have access to a basket of fruit or vegetables under the Fruit in Schools Initiative. We do not allow sweets in school.

Milk is available free of charge for pupils under 5 to have at break time. Milk can be provided for older children at a small charge.

Children also have access to water in school as we have individual water bottles.
