School meals are available every day at a cost of £2.80 per meal. These need to be booked in advance, by the Thursday night for the following week. Meals are prepared in an off-site school kitchen and delivered to us daily. School meals need to be paid for via SchoolGrid - you will be given login details once your child has been placed on roll. Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 (and those in the years above who are entitled to benefits-related Free School Meals) do not pay for school meals, but still need to book in advance if they are required.
Alternatively, children may bring a packed lunch in a container clearly marked with their name. All children are encouraged to drink water with their meal; however they may bring their own drink in a plastic bottle or carton. As a Healthy School we discourage sugary drinks and snacks. Fizzy drinks are not permitted nor are glass containers.
If school meals are required but are not booked before the deadline, you will be required to bring in a packed lunch for your child, regardless of whether they are Free School Meals or not.
Free fruit and vegetables are provided to all the children in the infants as part of the government scheme.
We provide a range of fresh fruit and vegetables for the rest of the school. Children may bring in their own snack each day and as a healthy school we encourage them to bring in either a piece of fruit or a healthy option snack. We do not allow sweets, chocolate biscuits or crisps as part of the mid-morning snack (the only exception being for children with a specific dietary requirement). There is also the school tuck shop available for all children at a cost of 20p. We are always happy to discuss with parents how we can encourage a healthy diet.
Please note that we will always accommodate a pupil’s needs and are happy to discuss with parents how best we can support any requirements.
