School Meals
Healthy eating is not just about grazing on raw fruit and vegetables. It's also about allowing time to sit at a table and eat the valuable nutrients found in a balance of freshly cooked hot and cold meals in a pleasant, social environment with other children.
Our commitment is to provide children with healthy, nutritious and exciting meals each day. ​
All children in Reception and KS1 are entitled to Universal Free School Meals.
For children in KS2, the cost of a school meal is £2.50, which includes a drink. We are a cashless school, so all meals need to be booked and paid for in advance via ParentMail. You are able to book meals up to 3 weeks in advance, right up until 11.59pm the day before. Payment can either be made at the point of booking on a pay-as-you-go basis, or you can periodically top-up your child's account. All payments must be made via ParentMail.​
Our meals are now provided by Shire Services: https://www.shireservices.co.uk/catering-primary-schools​
All meals are offered with salad, wholemeal bread and vegetable selection. We use Red Tractor chicken, which guarantees safe, quality chicken which meets animal welfare standards. All fish used on our menus are Marine Stewardship certified (MSC).We do not add salt or sugar to any of our meals. We only serve freshly-made soups made from vegetable stocks. All eggs we use are free range. All cakes and biscuits on offer are freshly made. Once a week an assortment of fresh fruit and yoghurt is the only pudding option. All puddings are made using reduced sugar recipes and fresh fruit is available daily.​
