MEALS

We believe in offering our pupils a broad, balanced and nutritious diet.

Breakfast

All pupils should have access to a healthy, nutritious breakfast before school. Having a nutritious breakfast ensures that our pupils start the day feeling energised and ready to learn.

In the Primary Phase we have a free Breakfast Club for Reception – Year 6 pupils from 8.15 – 8.45am; pupils can enjoy a healthy breakfast and take part in activities with their peers.

If you wish for your child to attend Breakfast Club between 7.45 – 8.15am, please note there is a charge for this. Both sessions need to be booked in advance via our Primary Phase office.

Any Primary Phase pupils who don’t attend breakfast club will still be offered a free breakfast, which is delivered to their classroom at the start of period 1. This is provided as part of our partnership with Magic Breakfast.

In the Secondary Phase, our breakfast club runs from 7:45am and offers a free breakfast for all pupils who attend. This is provided as part of our partnership with Magic Breakfast.

lunch

At lunchtime, children may have a school dinner or bring a packed-lunch. School meals are prepared in-house and the meals are nutritionally balanced to provide your child with the right amount of nutrients and energy.

Pupils are encouraged to use the correct table manners and make conversation to continue developing relationships over the lunchtime period.

If your child is bringing a packed-lunch, please ensure it contains the right amount of nutritious food.

Please do not send:

  • Fizzy drinks
  • Sweets
  • Chocolate bars
  • Any nuts or nut products (such as peanut butter)
  • Sesame seeds

Please ensure you check pre-prepared products (such as sushi) for these allergens.

Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a Universal School Meal. We offer either a hot dinner or a sandwich option under the Universal School Meal Scheme. We will need one week’s written notice if you wish to make any changes to your choice.

Year 3 upwards are charged at £2.65 per day, unless the child qualifies for free school meals (see below for more information).

Milk is provided by Cool Milk and parents can apply directly with them online at coolmilk.com/parents/.

Our younger children will also be given a piece of fruit or vegetable to keep their mind in full working order and to promote healthy eating and well-being.

In the Secondary Phase, pupils have access to the refectory where meals are served before school and at break and lunch times.

Please find the menu linked below, which is updated termly.

ParentPay gives you the opportunity to pay for your child’s school meals on the highly secure ParentPay website. It offers a history of all the payments you have made and gives you peace of mind that your payment has been made safely and securely.
