All pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a free school meal. There is a charge for all other children for a hot school meal.

All pupils are given a choice of meal each day and have the access to a salad bar, fruit and yogurt to compliment their meal. If your child has food allergies the catering manager will be happy to discuss alternative menu choices.

Whilst we cannot claim to be a ‘nut free’ school, the food prepared by Cucina does not contain nuts and we ask all parents providing a packed lunch for their children to ensure that no nuts are included.

All parents are encouraged to provide a piece of fruit for their children to eat at morning play. This is provided to our younger children. if you choose for your child to have a packed lunch, we ask that they are healthy during the week but a treat can be included every Friday.
