Food and Drink

Break Time

Children in Reception and KS1 receive daily fruit under the government fruit scheme.

We provide a tuck shop during the morning break for KS2 children at which they can buy a piece of toast, apple, carrot or banana for 20p. 

KS2 children can bring in fruit from home if they wish, in line with our healthy eating aims.

Milk

All reception children receive free milk until their 5th birthday. They then have the opportunity to purchase a carton of milk through the Milk Service. See the school office for further information.

Water

All children should bring a water bottle to school, clearly labelled with the child’s name. Only water should be in the bottle due to spillages. 

School Lunches

Good quality school meals are cooked onsite by Aspens, a privately owned catering company who specialise in providing school meals. Everyday there is a hot meal option (including a vegetarian variation), jacket potatoes or packed lunch, comprising of a wrap, fruit or vegetable snack and a dessert. There is also a salad cart, where children can self-select additional items.  

All children, who are in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2, will still be entitled to receive a daily free school meal.

For children in Year 3 – 6, the price of a school dinner from Sept 2022 will be £2.40. Payment for school lunches must be made via the SchoolMoney online payment system, prior to lunch being taken.  Please ensure you top up your school dinner account on a regular basis.

Free School Meals

You may be entitled to receive Free School Meals for your child if you receive a range of benefits. Please see the office for the latest list or click the link below.

Even if your child does not have a hot meal, if you are in receipt of Free School Meals entitlement, there may be other benefits that you are entitled to within school. Please contact the school office, in confidence, for more information.

Packed Lunches

Children may bring a packed lunch. Please provide a suitable container clearly labelled with your child’s name. As part of the school’s healthy eating approach, we encourage a good mix of healthy foods and regularly advise parents about appropriate contents of packed lunches. We recommend a good proportion of carbohydrates (bread, pasta or rice), plenty of fruit and vegetables and some dairy, meat or fish produce. Crisps, biscuits and cakes should be limited to a couple of times a week. Please do not send in glass bottles, cans, fizzy drinks or sweets, and please note that children are expected to bring all their waste back home. Please remember that we are a nut free school.
