Children may choose each day to have either a packed lunch or a school dinner. Some children like to eat school dinners every day, whilst others like to examine the menu first and book their lunches accordingly.

At lunchtime, each year group is called from the playground in turn, and they line up at the servery and collect the dinner they have ordered - either a choice of hot meals, including vegetarian and halal options, or a sandwich or jacket potato. They sit at long tables, and our Lunchtime Leaders encourage them to eat their food, adopt good table manners, and enjoy the social aspect of dining together without too much noise or mess.

School dinners

Packed lunches

Children may bring their own packed lunch.

We ask parents to think about the nutritional content of the packed lunches they provide, but we do not impose restrictions. We encourage children to think about healthy food choices.

Some of our children have food allergies, the most common being nut allergies. We ask parents not to include nut-based products in the packed lunches they provide (this includes sesame or hazelnut-chocolate spread). 

Drinks provided with packed lunches should  be healthy options. No fizzy drinks and no products marketed as "energy drinks".

Snacks

We encourage all children to bring a named, refillable, sports-style water bottle to school every day. This should go home to be washed and re-filled each day and can also be refilled in school. Please provide leak-proof bottles and avoid metal as this can be unsafe as a heavy material.  

School Milk
