We are delighted to announce 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 School Money at Eduspot works well; parents pay in advance for meals, and as long as your account is in credit, meals need to be ordered and paid for in advance up to a half a term at a time. Meals currently cost £2.45 per day for Year 3 to Year 6.
Meal orders for children (Reception to Year 3) who are entitled to Universal Free School meals and benefit related free meals (FSM) will also need to be ordered in advance through Eduspot
All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 automatically get free school meals. Parents and guardians are encouraged to apply for free school meals when they enrol their child in school as this can help their child’s school to attract additional ‘pupil premium’ funding to support learning.
From Year 3 onwards, children whose parents are in receipt of any of the following benefits are entitled to free school meals:
