School Meals
School Lunches
Our healthy and nutritious lunches are cooked by our experienced in-house chef using fresh ingredients on our school site. We ensure that all food produced meets the School Food Standards. School lunches cost £2.40 and are freshly made each day.
School meals are planned on a 3 week cycle and always contain a meat and a vegetarian option.
The introduction of the Government’s Universal Infant Free School Meals initiative in September 2014 means that children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a free school meal.
Pupils in Years 3-6 must pay for their school meals via Parentpay. Free school meals may also be provided for your children if you receive benefits, for example income support or child tax credit. Further information is available from the school office.
If your child has moved from Year 2 to Year 3 this year, we very much hope they will continue having a school meal even though they have to be paid for, as they are healthy and nutritious and represent excellent value. If you have any questions about our school meals, please contact the school office.
If your child has a specific dietary need for a medical reason we would be delighted to provide them with a bespoke special diet menu. Please let us know of any dietary needs.

Packed Lunches - what you need to know
Eating well is important. Children need to eat well as it will give them energy and nutrients to grow and develop, be healthy and active. A healthy, enjoyable lunch gives children the energy they need to learn and play at school.
At any one time we are likely to have a number of children with nut allergies, and for some of them, exposure to nuts can be very dangerous. Therefore, the school promotes no nuts and no sesame seeds. Please ensure the food you provide does not contain nuts or sesame seeds.
Chocolate and confectionery are not permitted in packed lunches.
Use the information in this leaflet to help make your child a healthier packed lunch.
