PARENTS > SCHOOL MEALS
Healthy, well-balanced school meals are cooked here on our premises daily. We make provision for children who are vegetarian or who have severe allergies. We encourage the children to eat a school lunch, especially the younger ones, as we believe it is important to have a hot meal at lunchtime.
Children may bring a packed lunch if they prefer or if they have specific dietary requirements which cannot be met by the catering company. This should be a balanced meal with no crisps, chocolate or fizzy drinks. Children can opt to change from school lunch to packed lunch and vice versa, but this can only happen at half-termly intervals, by informing the staff in the School Office.
Payment for school meals can be made weekly, half-termly or termly using the online payments system - School Gateway.
Under the Government’s initiative of Universal Free School Meals, all Reception and KS1 pupils receive a free school meal.
The cost of a school meal is £2.75 per day, £13.75 per week. A letter is sent to parents from the school office staff advising the amount payable for each half term or full term.
