School Meals

Lunches are cooked on the school premises and both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food is provided. Lunches cost £1.75p per day and money is payable in advance. Many children are entitled to a free school meal and details about this can be acquired from the school secretary. Children may bring a packed lunch if they wish and some parents choose to collect their children and take them home for lunch. We encourage all parents to notify the school in good time where they wish to change the lunch time arrangements for their children. Changes may only take place from the beginning of a half term period.
