School Lunches

It is proven that pupils who have good, healthy diets, particularly during the school day, are more productive and more able to focus. Please feel free to read the information below about meals and snacks in school. Please see our Whole School Food Policy and packed Lunch Policy for more information.

From January 2026 we will be taking our school catering in house. Please see the attached letter and our fabulous new menus.

Spring Term 2026 – Menu

Pupils can use water bottles with sports non spill caps and we ask parents to ensure that it is washed, refilled with fresh water and brought to school each day. Refillable school water bottles can be purchased from the office for £1.

Water Bottles 

Milk

Fresh milk is available for all pupils at morning break time. For children under 5 years old it is free, for older pupils there is a small termly charge. Milk is ordered directly from Cool Milk at Schools Ltd. (Tel: 0800 3897157), forms are available at the school office and can be returned directly to Cool Milk Ltd or to the office.

Fruit

As part of the National Fruit Scheme, all infant children are given a piece of fresh fruit at morning break time. Please let us know if you do not wish your child to have fruit. Older pupils may bring a healthy snack of fresh or dried fruit or vegetables but NOT nuts (due to severe allergies of several pupils across school)  We are a NUT FREE SCHOOL. If your child brings grapes please ensure they are cut up to avoid the risk of choking.

Please note that sweets, chocolate bars and nuts are not allowed in school at any time.
