School Meals

All infant aged children are entitled to a free lunch. A form which is available from the school office must be completed if you wish your child to be able to access free school meals.

As well as providing a choice of hot meals, or a panini’s,  we will also be providing a selection of sandwiches.  Research shows that children make more progress if they have eaten the right nutritional lunch.

• Only 1% of packed lunches provide the correct nutrition.
• Children are better prepared for learning if they eat well.
• Eating hot dinners is an important social occasion and the children learn vital social skills.

Because of this we will have a ‘no lunchbox’ policy and all children will have a school meal or sandwich, unless there are medical reasons why they should not, please supply evidence of this when you speak to the class teacher.

We cater for a range of dietary requirements, including vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free and halal.
ALL MEALS PROVIDED IN SCHOOL ARE COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE
The benefits of having a meal provided by our in-house catering team are:

• Meals prepared and cooked fresh each day with fresh ingredients
• Nutritionally balanced menu – compliant with food standards
• Choice of a hot meals each day
• Halal
• Vegetarian option always available
• Choice of sandwiches each day

And of course this saves you time and money not having to buy, prepare and pack your child’s lunch at home.
