Every
year we make significant improvements to the food we offer. We work hard with
suppliers to be able to use quality ingredients and from local sources wherever
possible.
§
Salad bars are available
giving a wide selection of healthy food combinations. Children can make up
their own salad so are more likely to eat everything on their trays.
§
A
choice of fruit or fruit-based desserts are on offer each day, helping your child to reach the all
important five portions a day.
§
Tasty homemade dishes
are available daily – warming traditional meals in the winter months and
lighter dishes for the summer.

Please send a full week’s
dinner money in the envelope provided on a Monday morning.
A free meal is provided for
children whose parents are in receipt of certain benefits. If you think your
child may be entitled to free meals please contact the school.
Every effort is made to ensure
that children receiving free school meals cannot be distinguished from other
children. If you wish your child to bring a packed lunch to school, Mrs Tuck or
Mrs Walker must be notified at least one week in advance and the arrangements
must continue until the following end of term.
Should your child be eligible
for free school meals and wishes to bring a packed lunch it is important that
you continue to complete the review forms.
Packed Lunches
At
To support our ethos we would
like to ask for the help of parents who provide packed lunches for their
children.
With school meals now having to
comply to strict nutritional standards, we need your
support to ensure that all food eaten at school is nutritious and balanced, so
we would like to ask you NOT to include chocolate, sweets, fizzy drinks and
crisps in lunch boxes.
