Breakfast club
We run a very successful breakfast club from the main school building each school day morning from 8am. Children of working families or those who are accessing higher education may book a place for the child care provision. This provision costs £2.50 per week and ensures the children are provided with a healthy breakfast to start the day – cereals, toast and drink. Our amazing Teaching Assistants organise the club and have activities available for the children to engage with before they take them over to school on time after breakfast.
Lunches
Our school lunches are cooked on site in our dining hall and are delicious! Children are able to choose from the ‘cafeteria-style’ a meal that will provide them a nutritionally balanced lunch either from the ‘hot’ or ‘cold’ side. School lunches are priced at £2.10 per day and MUST be paid in advance preferably using the online payment, ParentPay system – the same as when you pay for your food in advance when visiting any fast food restaurants! If you prefer, you can pay a term in advance – please contact the office for costings.
Free school meals
If you believe your child may be entitled to a free school meal, please see the Admin team. They will signpost you to the relevant forms to complete and outline the necessary evidence you will need to complete the process. It is important to access free school meal entitlement as school funding is directly linked to pupils entitled to them.
Packed lunches
Children may bring packed lunches. It should be placed into a secure container, which can be carried by the child and stored easily in school. (there are no cold storage facilities in school) As we are a nut free, healthy school and are constantly challenging pupils to make good choices about the food that they eat, we ask that you do not include anything that says "may contain NUTS", sweets, chocolate, fizzy drinks, cans or glass bottles. We will encourage pupils to return home with any uneaten food so that you are informed of what your child has eaten.
