Healthy eating is not just about grazing on raw fruit and vegetables.  It's also about allowing time to sit at a table and eat the valuable nutrients found in a balance of freshly cooked hot and cold meals in a pleasant, social environment with other children. Our commitment is to provide children with healthy, nutritious and exciting meals each day. 

 

All children in Reception and KS1 are entitled to Universal Free School Meals.

 

For children in KS2, the cost of a school meal is £2.50, which includes a drink.

 

We are a cashless school, so all meals need to be booked and paid for in advance via ParentMail. You are able to book meals up to 3 weeks in advance, right up until 11.59pm the day before. Payment can either be made at the point of booking on a pay-as-you-go basis, or you can periodically top-up your child's account. All payments must be made via ParentMail.

From Monday 6th November 2023, our meals will be provided by Shire Services: https://www.shireservices.co.uk/catering-primary-schools
