Lunchtimes

Lunchtime is essential for children to develop independence, social skills, and refuel for afternoon learning. Children can choose a hot school meal or bring a packed lunch. Meal choices can be changed each half-term with written notice to the School Office.

School Meals

• Healthy School: Menus are designed by Harrison Catering Services with nutritionists to ensure they are delicious and balanced.
• Daily Options:
• Two main meals (including a vegetarian option)
• Fruit, yogurt, or a healthy dessert
• Salad from the salad bar
• Optional homemade bread

For the menu, please see the Spring 2 – Summer Term, 2024 on our website.

Special Dietary Requirements

For children with special dietary needs, complete and return the Food Allergy and Food Intolerance Management Form available on our Downloads page.

Free School Meals

From September 2023, all children from Reception to Year 6 are eligible for free school meals. Parents must complete a Meal Arrangements Form to apply. This helps the school claim Pupil Premium funding, which supports enrichment activities and targeted support.

Packed Lunches

Children can bring a packed lunch. Please ensure it adheres to our Healthy School agenda and Packed Lunch Policy, available on the School Policies page. Packed lunches should be in labelled, non-breakable containers.

For school trips, packed lunches are free for children receiving free school meals. Order in advance using the Harrison Catering Packed Lunch Pre-Order Form from our Downloads page.
