School meals are freshly prepared on the premises, and are wholesome, healthy and appetizing.
The school runs a three-week menu which is published in advance and there is always a sandwich alternative during summer months and a jacket potato alternative during the winter months.
If you prefer you can choose to send your child with a packed lunch in a named container, and a warm, or non-fizzy cold drink in a non-breakable container.
School Meals Supervisory Assistants (dinner ladies) look after the children in the dining room, and on the playground during the lunchtime break.
Dinner money is payable every Monday in advance on Parentpay.
The school office can give helpful advice on school meal grants.
