Universal Infant Free School Meals
All Reception, Year 1, and Year 2 children are entitled to a universal infant-free school meal. We would encourage all our families to take this opportunity for their child to enjoy a healthy hot meal each day. Our meals are cooked from fresh produce each day and nutritionally well balanced. A menu is available so parents can view what meal their child is being provided with.
We also support children who bring a packed lunch. We have a very clear packed lunch policy to enable us to support healthy eating in school. Please check this policy before you put together a packed lunch for your child.
Packed Lunches
We have a policy in place to support families. Due to children who have severe food allergies nuts of any kind, including peanut butter and chocolate spread must not be included.
Please label your child’s lunchbox, beaker, and flask. For the sake of safety, please do not send any glass bottles or flasks, or any hot drinks.
Playing at lunchtime
Children are supported at lunchtime to eat their meal safely and in a calm setting with experienced teaching assistants.
Children are provided with outstanding support in the playground. Games and toys are provided daily to all children so they have lots to do, a sports coach is also employed to ensure the children are as active as possible.
