School Dinners

A healthy and nutritious meal is served each day within school.  Children are able to select from a varied menu that is prepared and cooked daily in our own kitchen.

Children will select their meal at the beginning of each day, once selected the children will be unable to change their minds as their chosen meal will have been made for them.

From September 2014, pupils in Reception and KS1 are entitled to receive a universal free school meal. 

Please ensure that if you are eligible for free school meals that you apply.
