Lunch, Snacks and Milk
School Lunches
Children can have a free hot school lunch cooked on the premises or bring their own packed lunch.
School meals are very carefully planned by the catering company Stir Food.
Menus are updated on our website, click here to view.
Please be reminded we are a nut free school, which includes any spreads in sandwiches as many contain nuts. This is hugely important to us as it keeps all students safe, especially those with allergies.
If your child requires a special menu due to an allergy, please contact STIR Foods at info@stirfood.co.uk.
Snacks
All children may have a piece of free fruit or vegetable each day for morning break. Children who cannot eat particular fruits or vegetables can bring their own healthy snack on request. All children should bring a bottle of water to drink during the day.
Milk
Milk is the ideal mid-morning drink for your child and for many it’s absolutely free.
- FREE for children under the age of five
- FREE to children receiving or entitled to statutory free school meals
To register your child for milk please follow this link - Milk.
