Nutritiously delicious school meals are available for our pupils each day, cooked by our excellent kitchen staff right here on the premises. Our school dinner provider is Nourish. The price for a school dinner is £3.00. We are in the process of setting up the new payment/booking system and information will be sent to Parents/Carers in due course. Once set up, payments for school lunches will be made online with Parent Pay via your Reach More Parents app. If you have any queries about school lunches please contact the school office.

It is important that we have up to date information about specific allergies or food dislikes as this helps to avoid any embarrassment to your child. If there are any changes to your children’s dietary requirements, please contact the school office.

Packed lunches and Allergies

Children may bring a packed lunch to school if this is preferred, and this will be eaten in the dining room. Packed lunches should include a non-fizzy drink in a suitable container. Straws and spoons should be supplied from home if these are required. Lunches are stored on the trolley located in the main corridor at the start of the day. The trolley will then be removed until lunchtime. Please ensure that any snack intended for break-time is removed from the lunchbox.

We are committed to keeping all pupils safe, including those with food allergies. We have a nut-free expectation and ask that nuts or products containing nuts are not brought onto the school site in packed lunches or snacks.

Parents and carers providing a packed lunch should ensure it is suitable for their child and inform the school of any allergies or dietary requirements. All staff receive allergy awareness and anaphylaxis training to support the safe management of pupils with allergies.

Whilst we take reasonable steps to minimise risks, we cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment. Thank you for supporting us in keeping all children safe.

Breaktime snacks

We encourage a small healthy snack to be brought e.g. fruit or vegetable and eaten in the playground. Please be aware of the difficulties in peeling oranges! No Chocolate, Sweets, Crisps, Nuts or Chewing gum are allowed as this is intended to be a healthy energy boost for your child. We participate in the Healthy Schools initiative of free fruit for the infant children, and the cool milk scheme.

Why is healthy eating important?

A balanced diet is essential for good health and vitality. By eating well at lunchtime, pupils gain a host of benefits, both short and long-term. As a school we take seriously our responsibilities and we believe that we make a positive contribution to both the “Every Child Matters” agenda and the “Healthy Schools Award”.

The Government’s aim is for every child, whatever their background or their circumstances to have the support they need to:

• Be healthy
• Stay Safe
• Enjoy and Achieve
• Make a positive contribution
• Achieve economic wellbeing
