School Meals

We are delighted to work in partnership with our school meals provider  Caterlink,
who prepare, cook, and serve from our onsite catering facility.
 
Caterlink provide a menu that is packed full of choice, and we encourage all our
pupils to eat a rainbow of fruit and vegetables. We want to provide your child with a
nutritious meal, but we also want them to have fun! Whether its National baking
week or Best of British, Caterlink run themes to bring something new to the table for
your child to try. Beyond the dining room, their dedicated Development Chefs offer
classes to teach children the basics of cooking as well as food education assemblies
in school on the importance of making healthy choices.
 
Children have a choice of nutritionally balanced meals each day, which include a
pudding, fresh fruit and yogurt or a delicious freshly baked home bake.

Paying for School Meals

We are a Healthy School, and firmly believe in the benefits of having a well-balanced
meal at lunchtime. Children in Years 3 – 6 have the choice of paying for a school
meal or bringing in a packed lunch from home.

School meals cost £2.55 per day for children in years 3 to 6 who are not in receipt of
free school meals (all children in Reception and years 1 and 2 receive the
government funded Universal Infant Free School Meals).
