We are delighted to have our own in house catering service to provide healthy meals for all our children.
Our mission is to improve the health of our children through better eating habits and food education, inspiring the next generation into good lifelong eating habits.
Lunchtimes are an important part of the school day. Healthy, nutritious, balanced school lunches can lead to better health and a better academic performance. Going forward, the Trust is aiming towards becoming a Food for Life School, and we are working with Food for Life and The Soil Association to achieve a Bronze Award to recognise this.
We are able to give the children a choice of hot meals every day. Picnic bags are available every day. Salad and bread are available with every meal.
For dessert, the children have the choice of a pudding or fresh fruit.
Our online payment system via My Child at School works well; parents pay in advance for meals and book online. As long as your account is in credit, meals can be ordered up to half a term in advance. Meals currently cost £2.50 per day for Year 3 to Year 6.
Meal orders for children (Reception to Year 2) who are entitled to Universal Free School meals and benefit related free meals (FSM) will also need to be ordered in advance.

From Year 3 onwards, children whose parents are in receipt of any of the following benefits are entitled to free school meals:
