School Meals
A reminder that we are a nut free school. Please do not send anything into school which may contain nuts as we have children with severe allergies. Hazelnut spreads (such as Nutella), cereal bars, nut spreads, nut pesto and some ‘Kinder’ products can also contain nuts.
Items cooked in a satay sauce are also unsuitable for school as the sauce contains peanuts. If you send in grapes or tomatoes in a packed lunch, please remember to quarter these or slice them lengthways as they present a potential choking hazard.
Thank you for your understanding.
The children are provided with a healthy meal designed to promote sound all round physical development, and to lessen the risk of heart disease in later life. Pupils are encouraged to try a wide variety of food. Social training is also an important part of the lunch period.
School meals are currently free of charge to all children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. There is a charge of £2.60 per day/ £13.00 per week for pupil meals in Nursery and Years 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Meals must be paid for in advance on Monday mornings and must be paid for on our digital payment platform- 'Schoolmoney' as we operate a cashless office.

Snack Time
Children in EYFS and KS1 are provided with fruit each morning. If you wish to provide your child with a snack, please only send fruit. Please ensure that grapes are cut in half lengthways to avoid choking. Similarly please cut cherry tomatoes in half.

Water
It is important that children remain well hydrated during the school day. All children are provided with their first school water bottle for free; replacements can be purchased from the school office or you may provide your own.
Water bottles must only contain water- not squash. It would be acceptable to add ice cubes or fresh fruit if your child would prefer.
Fizzy drinks are not permitted .
Each week , seven lucky children are chosen to sit at the Golden Table- complete with golden tablecloth and candelabras. This is a special reward given by the lunchtime supervisors to the children who have demonstrated our 'Respect' value over a lunch time. These children are given two golden tickets to the Golden Table. Pupils can invite a friend or relative to have lunch with them on the following Friday. Remember to exchange your golden ticket for an ice cream!
Where possible, ingredients and produce are locally sourced. The map below shows where our food comes from.

Packed Lunches

Any food left uneaten will be sent home so you can monitor your child’s food intake.
Fridges are provided for the cold storage of packed lunches during the day.
