All children are cared for at lunch times by teaching assistants, welfare assistants and play-workers. All meals are cooked on the premises and children have a healthy selection to choose from. If your child would prefer, they may bring a healthy balanced packed lunch. This should be in a named box. Packed lunches should not include fizzy drinks, sweets, crisps or chocolate / chocolate biscuits. However, each Friday children are allowed to bring a ‘treat’ into school with their packed lunch, i.e. chocolate biscuit / chocolate wafer finger / small snack size chocolate bar.

No nut based products (these are items where nuts are listed as a direct ingredient) should be brought into school. 

Nursery
In the nursery, all children stay for school dinner as it is part of their nursery routine and forms part of their social development. Each child is given a set meal to try and gives the pupils experiences of different types of foods.

Reception and Key stage 1
All children in Early Years and Key Stage 1 are entitled to Universal Free School Meals. Your child may still prefer a packed lunch which must comply with our healthy eating packed lunch guidelines.
