Lunch

School Meals

School meals are cooked in our school kitchen by Caterlink, our catering contractor. There is a daily hot meal and a vegetarian option. Your child may choose to have school meals all week or on a selection of days - Wednesday roasts and fish and chips on Fridays are firm favourites.

From September 2024, the price for a school meal is £2.85 per day. All lunches need to be booked and paid for in advance, through ParentPay/Cypad

Please see the How to Pay leaflet attached below for further information.

Packed Lunches

Your child may prefer to bring a packed lunch to school. All lunch boxes are stored on trolleys in the classrooms. It is therefore advisable to ensure that their lunch box is clearly named and to consider the contents carefully. To ensure your child’s lunch remains fresh and cool, particularly in the summer months, it might be advisable to include a cool pack.
