Lunch Menus

Our Lunch menu includes at least two healthy choices every day. We have vegetarian options as well as a salad and fruit bar. If your child has any special dietary considerations, please can you inform us as soon as possible. If your situation has changed due to financial constraints, your child may be eligible for Free School Meals. Further information can be found here:

Healthy Lunchboxes

A healthy packed lunch can help children develop good eating habits, have better energy and concentration, and maintain a healthy weight.  As a school, we have agreed that children can have these items as a snack for breaktime:

  • Fruit (including dried fruit but not fruit winders)
  • Cheese
  • 25g bag of cheddars
  • Crackers (with or without butter)
  • Breadsticks
  • Raw vegetables

We do not allow sweets or high sugar snacks or drinks in school.  Here are some ideas to support you in making a healthy lunchbox.
