School Meals

Our children love our school dinners! Lunchtime is seen as key learning point of the school day and our staff team take time to carefully plan the lunchtime provision so it carefully matches pupils needs. We work with families to ensure that individual dietary requirements are understood and well met during the school day.

The cost for school dinners is £13.00 per week (£2.60 per day). This should be paid via Parent Pay at the beginning of each week.

The price for attending a breakfast club session is £1 per day.

We ask that parents or carers make a £5 contribution per half term for snack. This will cover the cost of cereal, toast, fruit, pancakes, biscuits, crackers etc and a drink of juice, milk or water.

As a Healthy School, we offer a balanced selection of meal choices for our pupils. All pupils in the Reception class and years 1 & 2 are entitled to a free daily hot meal. Our foundation and KS1 pupils also have a choice of fruit at morning break.

Packed lunches

Should you wish your child to bring a packed lunch from home, please see the websites below for some healthy ideas.
