School Meals
We have a “whole school approach” to encouraging good diet and nutrition and as such have
a healthy school policy in place. This is supported by our dedicated on site catering team lead
by Mr Zak Goodwin our catering manager. We offer a varied selection of hot and cold lunch
options using locally sourced and seasonal produce that is then prepared and cooked on site
ensuring the highest standards of freshness, quality and nutritional value. Please refer to our
website to access our current menu.
We promote a relaxed and fun dining experience where students are actively encouraged to
try new things. Our menus are changed seasonally and students are always involved in this
process through our School Food Council.
Under a government initiative, fresh fruit is supplied at break times each day for all our Infant
children. Children in the Juniors may bring fresh fruit or dried fruit to eat at break if they wish.
Children are encouraged to bring the school’s water bottle into school each day so they can
drink water at regular intervals. Water bottles can be purchased from the school office. Please
note that during lesson time, only water may be drunk, so please help us by sending the bottle
ready filled.
As a Health and Safety issue, and also in line with our Healthy Eating Policy, we do not allow
the bringing of ‘treats’ e.g. sweets or cake to share after birthdays and holidays.
The daily cost is currently £2.00. All dinner money for the week should be paid advance using
the online Tucasi/Sco pay system.
The catering manager needs to know the number of children he is catering for by 9.30am each
day. If your child is going to be late, for example attending the dentist, please tell the class
teacher the previous day, or phone and leave a message on the answer machine.
If you think your child may be entitled to free school meals, please come into the office and
we will help you access the necessary forms.
