School Dinners

Our school has its own kitchen where the midday meals are prepared.  We cater for various tastes and diets and the children are able to choose.  This includes a meat, non meat and halal option, which are available each day.  It is also possible to send your child with a packed lunch.

Why should I have a school lunch?

  • School meals are freshly prepared each day and contain lots of vitamins and nutrients.
  • There is a lot of choice on the menu every day - which will help stop you being bored of eating the same food!
  • Your school lunch refuels your body giving you the energy to cope with your school day.
  • Your school lunch is prepared with healthy, fresh ingredients, which are good for your mind and your body and help you to grow.
  • You can eat with your friends - which is good fun and gives you the chance to catch up with them over the lunch break.
  • You school lunch will help you stay healthy!
  • Don't miss out!
