School meals

Tasty and nutritious meals are prepared in our school kitchen offering pupils and staff a variety of meat, fish and vegetarian dishes. Children also have the option to bring their own packed lunch.

School meals 

If you would like your child to have school meals (whether paid for or FSM) we require that you let us know at the start of each term. This advance notice allows us to plan properly and keep costs as low as possible.

Meals are charged at £2.40 a day (£12 a week) and must be paid for at least a week in advance. You can pay using the online Arbor system.
