School Meals
Since September 2014, the Government has provided funding to enable Primary Schools in England to offer a free lunch to every child in their Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 classes. This is known as the Government’s School Food Plan.
Our meal provider is Edwards and Blake (click here to visit their website)
School Meal Menu
School Meals
Menus are available on SchoolMoney. You have the option to order a Meat, Vegetarian or Packed Lunch option for your child. Please note that you have until midnight the night before to order your child a school meal. If you have not ordered your child a school meal and they have no packed lunch with them a telephone call home for you to bring them a lunch will be made, we do not have spare dinners. If you have SPECIAL DIETARY REQUIREMENTS please notify the school office.
If your child has free school meals we ask that you book dinners in advance over the half term.
Packed Lunches
If your child is having their own packed lunch, please be aware that lunch boxes are kept in the hall and they must be in a secure container for safety and hygiene. All lunch boxes must be clearly marked with your child’s name. In order to support Healthy Schools, we encourage you not to send sweets, chocolate or fizzy drinks. In the interest of health and safety for children and staff with nut allergies, please can we also ask you not to include any items containing NUTS.
Mid-morning snack
At morning break pupils may have a drink of milk (supplied free to under 5’s) and a piece of fruit/vegetable. This is provided free of charge for children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. Milk can be ordered from Cool Milk. Milk is only provided free for children under 5 or children receiving Pupil Premium (if you are registered for Pupil Premium and would like your child to have milk please speak to Mrs Isard in the school office). Further information can be found on their website www.coolmilk.com
Children in KS2 are also able to have a snack during morning break. We ask that this is a fruit/vegetable based option. NO CHOCOLATE/CAKE
