School meals

Ordering and payments

Ordering and payments

Lunches are provided free of charge for children in Reception to Year Two as well as those families eligible for Free School Meals.

The children in Reception class and years 1 and 2 will be provided with a snack (a piece of fruit) as a part of their daily routine.

A vegetarian option is always available and the kitchen is usually able to cater for special dietary/medical needs if given advance notice – please contact the school office so we can help you organise this if necessary.

A school meal will cost £2.36 per day and needs to be booked and paid for in advance via your Parent Pay account.

Prohibited foods

The following foods and drinks are not permitted into the Academy:

  • chewing gum
  • fizzy drinks of any description
  • lucozade or other ‘energy drinks’
  • any other food or drink product that the Head of School deems unsuitable

We also ask that parents do not give their children junk food, crisps, chocolate, or sweets to bring to school.

Drinking water

Children will be encouraged to drink water throughout the day and water is made available at tables during lunch time. Named water bottles should be brought into school. For hygiene reasons, they should be taken home at the end of each day for cleaning and returned to school with fresh water. There will be opportunities during the school day for pupils to replenish their water bottles as required. Please note that only water may be given to children to drink during the school day. Parents can provide a healthy alternative to water for packed lunches, such as fruit juice.
