School meals have now risen to £3.20; in light of this change we will be reviewing our catering provision in the autumn term. YR to Y2 will continue to receive a free meal from the government universal meal offer.

Lunch Arrangements

For children attending school or all day in our Nursery classes, we have catered meals available.  There is a choice of meat or vegetarian option and in addition an extra option of a) sandwich or b) jacket potato or pasta meal. The extra option changes at different times of year, in the warmer months it is a) the sandwich and in colder months b) jacket potato or pasta meal.  The children are asked for their views of meal choices at various times and vote on changes through whole school and Pupil Council meetings.  There is a daily desert with each meal. 

Families are encouraged to make meal choices at home so families aware of meal choices.  If a choice hasn't been made it will happen during morning registration. Meals for Nursery 1 and 2 and Years 3-6 children are paid for online through Scopay - pay online, meals must be paid for in advance.

All Reception and Key Stage 1 aged children (Year 1 and Year 2) are provided with a universal free school meal from the government and therefore you do not need to provide food from home for your child.

Nursery, Year 3 to Year 6 can buy a school meal for £3.20 per meal or bring in a packed lunch.

Many families are entitled to a Free School Meal, which we encourage all families to apply for if they meet the criteria below; this covers most of the meal cost and also brings additional funding to the school.

Details of which menu week is in use can be found on the school calendar and on the Lunch Menu page.

Parent and Child Lunches

These are held termly see the Calendar for dates then book a place.

Packed lunch

Provision is made for children who bring packed lunches to school.

A packed lunch needs to be:

• A balanced healthy meal -
  • Part 1 - Meal e.g. sandwiches, wraps, rice based, pasta based 
  • Part 2 - Sweet part - fruit, yogurt, cake, cereal bar, biscuits etc..
  • Additional items - fruit and veg
  • Drink - not sugar based or carbonated

• Crisps/crackers etc... optional
• No chocolate bars or sweets
• No nut products are allowed to keep safe those with a nut allergy.

Children staying for packed lunch should have a labelled container for their balanced meal and drink. Uneaten food is returned home so parents can monitor what is being eaten.   

If children have unacceptable item, they will be left uneaten and returned home.

For those parents who wish to take their child home for lunch, collection is at 12 noon and return to school at 12.55pm, so that the child is in time for afternoon lessons.
