School Meals

We operate our school meal service from our own kitchen on the premises. Meals are cooked daily using only fresh and locally sourced produce.

There is a main meal of the day, consisting of varied and appetising meals such as spaghetti bolognese, chicken curry and rice and roast lunch.  Alternatively, there is a jacket potato with filling if preferred, although we do encourage children to try the main meal. Main course is followed by a dessert of the day. All meals meet current food and nutritional standards for school meals.

Our three weeks menu programme is available below.

We ask parents to notify us if their child dislikes any particular meal.  On this day, we will provide the alternative meal.  However, if we are not advised of any changes, the children are offered the main meal of the day.

We aim to ensure meal times are an enjoyable and social occasion and the school staff serve the children at their table. 

We are very proud of the quality of our school meals and the number of children having a meal is consistently high.     

We aim to keep the price of meals as low as possible, without compromising quality and quantity.  The cost of a meal is presently 2 pounds 40 pence per day - 12 pounds per week (Year 3 and above - see UFSM information below).   We believe this represents excellent value for money, especially in the current economic climate.

Dinner money can be paid via our online payments system www.schoolmoney.co.uk - Eduspot, you will receive a text/email advising of the amount owing.  If a child is absent, a credit is carried forward to the following week or term, and should be deducted from the next payment.  If however, a child goes home after meal numbers have been confirmed with the cook, (usually at around 9.30 a.m. each morning), the meal will still need to be paid for as it will have been already ordered. 

If children choose to bring a packed lunch, they also sit in the dining hall.

From September 2014, we will be complying with the Government's Free Universal School Meals for Infants policy.  All Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 pupils will be entitled to a free school meal.

Guidance regarding free school meal entitlement, based on family income, is available from the school office.

From 2014, we have updated our menu information to comply with regulations regarding allergens - see each menu for further details.
