Lunch and Snacks

School lunches

Your child can chose to have either a school cooked lunch or a packed lunch provided from home each day. Children can alternate between choices – registers are taken each morning when your child’s lunch choice will be noted.

All catering is provided by a company called Caterlink

School means are available each day. The meals are not cooked on-site but transported to school and then served here. The menu is below, should you require a paper copy – please do not hesitate to ask the school office.

A school meal has to be purchased for children in Years 3-6 if your child does not receive Free School Meals funding (as mentioned below).

The cost per day is £2.68 and whether your child has a meal every day or on an occasional basis, the meal must be paid for in advance.

We are a cashless school, therefore payments will be taken through MCAS (my child at school app).

Nut Free School

We are a nut free school.

Please do not send your child in with any products containing nuts; this includes chocolate and nut spreads such as Nutella and peanut butter.

Free school dinners

Children in years R, 1 and 2 and automatically entitled to free school meals, under the Universal Infant Free School Meal Scheme.

Children in years 3, 4, 5 and 6 may be entitled to means tested free school meals if families are in receipt of certain benefits,

Packed lunch

If your child prefers a packed lunch please ensure your child has a named lunch box

Please do include a drink for your child, but not fizzy drinks, cans or glass bottles. These are not allowed for safety reasons.

Please do not send nuts or nut products to school as some children have a very severe allergic reaction.

Snacks

The school participates in the ‘Free Fruit for Schools’ scheme and a fruit or vegetable snack is provided at morning break time for children in Early Years and Key Stage 1. Children are encouraged to try the fruit and vegetables available.

The school funds the provision of a drink of milk at morning break time for pupils who are aged under five and pupils who are eligible for free school meals.
