Meals & Lunch Menu
We are proud to work in partnership with Dolce, a multi award-winning UK education caterer, to provide nutritious and delicious school meals for our children.
Dolce makes lunchtimes the highlight of the day by serving freshly prepared, home-cooked meals made from raw ingredients. Children are offered a choice of four options each day on a three-week menu cycle:
A meat option
A vegetarian option
A jacket potato with a choice of filling
A sandwich or baguette option
All school meals are free for children of infant school age, making this a fantastic opportunity for children to enjoy a healthy, balanced lunch each day.
Children are also welcome to bring a packed lunch from home. To help keep all children safe, we kindly ask that no nut products are included, as some members of our school community have complex allergies.
If your child has any food allergies, these can be added to the Dolce ordering system. Once recorded, any meals containing those allergens cannot be selected, helping you order with confidence. Kitchen staff are also alerted to your child's allergies to ensure meals are prepared and served safely.
If your child has any dietary requirements for religious, medical or ethical reasons, please let the school office know. We will make sure this information is shared with Dolce so that suitable meal options are available.

How much does a school meal cost and what’s included?
There has long been a positive association between learning outcomes and nutrition.
School meals are FREE for all Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 pupils, regardless of household income (a saving of over £480). This entitles your child to a balanced main course, dessert, fresh bread daily and access to a salad bar.
If your child is in Year 3 or above, the cost per meal is £3.00 from September 2026. Payment and orders for school meals must be made via School Grid. Details of how to register are available from the School Office.
Your child may be entitled to a Free School Meal, please speak in confidence to a member of the School Office.
Allergies and Dietary Requirements
Children who are not having a school meal may bring in a packed lunch. We also ask families to support our healthy eating message by providing a nutritious packed lunch. Please do not include sweets or fizzy drinks. As we have some children with an allergy please do not bring any food containing nuts into school.
Thank you for your support in helping us promote healthy eating and keep our school a safe environment for all children.
If you think you may be entitled to free school meals (eg you receive Income Support or other similar benefits), please speak to a member of the school office. The matter will be treated in the strictest confidence. This applies whether your child is eligible for a free meal under the Universal Infants Free School Meal scheme or not, as it means the school receives additional funding. See the section on Pupil Premium for details of how this benefits the children.
Snacks
Free fruit and/or vegetables are made available at breaktime to children in Reception to Year 2, as part of a government initiative. Some fruit is also available (on a limited basis) for Years 3-6. Children may wish to bring in a piece of fruit from home if desired.
Children should bring in a bottle of drinking water as this helps to keep them hydrated and ready for learning.
Lunch Menu
The menu rotates every 3 weeks and is available to book on School Grid. View menu.
Please note that whilst every effort will be made to provide the meal specified, all are subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed.
