School Meals
Lunches, Fruit and Milk
Pupils may either bring a packed lunch to school or have a cooked meal. At the start of each half-term parents will be requested to state whether their child wishes to have a school meal or bring a packed lunch from home. The children are required to remain with the chosen option for the whole half term except in exceptional circumstances where written permission is requested from parents.
Most children have a hot school meal, prepared on site in our kitchen from fresh ingredients daily by cooks from the Independent Catering Management Ltd, our school caterers. We encourage all children to have a hot school meal. Daily meal options include:
- Meat or fish
- Vegetarian choice
- Freshly baked bread
- Salad bar
- Dessert and/or fresh fruit
Meals are planned around a six-week menu cycle, meeting all government dietary requirements for schools. Take a look at our current menu below.
Meals are served and eaten in the main school hall. Children eat together with their friends.
