School Meals
Children can opt to have a healthy packed lunch from home or a hot school meal. Our delicious school dinners are freshly prepared and cooked on the school site every day by our kitchen staff. The children choose from three options every morning so that the correct meals are prepared and the children are then guaranteed their preferred choice. Children with dietary restrictions can be catered for.
The current cost of dinners is £2.68 per day, unless your child is in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2, in which case they will be entitled to the Governments Universal Infant Free Schools Meals (UIFSM) scheme. School meals need to paid for in advance, either weekly, monthly or half termly. Payments should be made using SIMS Pay. You will need to get SIMS Pay login details from the office if you do not already have them.
Our Midday Supervisors organise a variety of play activities for children at dinnertimes. Children are expected to behave properly during the lunch break showing respect for all staff.
