School Dinners

School meals are prepared on site by Aspens Services. They produce high quality food using local produce from local suppliers.

There are three lunch options for children:

  1. To have a School Dinner cooked on site
  2. To bring a Packed Lunch from home to eat at school
  3. To go home for lunch

Infants

School dinners for all infant school aged children, from Reception to Year 2, are free and are cooked in the HAJ kitchen. All children will be able to choose their menu option during morning registration in the classroom. The children will then choose their vegetables or salad and their pudding themselves at the counter.  The Lunch Time Supervisors keep a list of what the children have chosen to help in case a child has forgotten what they have chosen.

Juniors

The cost of a school meal is £2.45. Please click the link to find out how to pay for school dinners

Packed Lunches

Packed lunches should be wholesome and healthy. Please include:

  • Starchy foods. These are bread, rice, potatoes and pasta, and others.
  • Protein foods. These are meat, fish, eggs, beans and others.
  • A dairy item. This could be cheese or yoghurt.
  • Vegetables or salad, and a portion of fruit

NB: Crisps only allowed on Fridays

Lunch at Home

Children can go home for lunch if they are collected and returned by an adult. All children leaving the premises during the school day should have written permission from a parent and must sign in and out each time they go home for lunch

Morning Break Snacks

Fruit is provided free of charge at break time for all infant aged children.

Junior children are encouraged to bring a fruit snack to enjoy during morning break. Children in Y6 operate a Fruit Tuck Shop where children can buy a piece of fruit for only 20p. This is subsidised by the school.

Drinks

It is important that children drink plenty of water. This has an impact on their health and their readiness to learn. Please send your child to school with a named re-sealable bottle suitable for water. Please note that no other drinks are acceptable in the classroom. A pure fruit juice with a packed lunch is acceptable but… NO sugar based or fizzy drinks are allowed.
