School Meals Catering
All children from Nursery to Year 4 are welcome to have a hot school meal or to bring in their healthy lunch from home.
The children in Nursery and Reception are served the most popular choice from the menu whilst each morning those children in Years 1 to 4 make their own choice from the daily menu.
A baked potato option and a sandwich option is available every day. Fresh salad and pasta are always available for the children to add to their plates along with fresh drinking water.
