School Meals
Food Provider
School meals are cooked on site by Dolce Schools Catering - specialist caterers for schools, colleges and universities.
Menu
The menu is displayed on the website. Pre-ordering should be done at home via SchoolGrid.
Cost of meals
All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to Universal Free School Meals. For children in Nursery, a school lunch costs £2.70 a day. For children in Year 3 and above, who are not in receipt of free school meals, a school lunch costs £2.85 a day. This is paid via SchoolGrid by card payment.
Allergies
Dolce has extensive experience of providing meals for children with allergies. Please check their website at SchoolGrid for allergy information.
Packed lunches
The school operates a healthy eating policy. We ask parents to provide their children with a balanced lunch if children are not having a school meal.
We are sometimes asked what children can and cannot have in their lunch box.
-
They cannot have any nuts and this includes Nutella and some snack bars. We are a nut free school due to severe nut allergies in school.
-
No fizzy drinks
-
No sweets or chocolate bars
-
It is fine to include a small sweet treat such as a slice of cake, cake bar or biscuit based chocolate bar such as a penguin.
Snacks
Children in Early Years and KS1 receive a piece of fruit every day for their snack. This is part of the Government fruit and vegetable scheme for schools and is free. KS2 children may bring in their own snack but it must not consist of crisps, chocolate or sweets and there must be nothing at all that contains nuts. We are trying to encourage children to eat healthily.
