Meals

The school has its own kitchen, and healthy, nutritious meals are prepared and cooked. These are served in the hall.

Each meal currently costs £2.70, and payment should be made at the commencement of each school week. Payment may be made on termly or half-termly basis, in advance.

If a child is absent, the number of meals not taken will be credited to your child's account.

School meals should be paid for on the Arbor App

It is important to note that the school is not able to run a meals credit system. Meals must be paid for in advance or at the time.

Lunch boxes should be provided for those children who prefer packed lunches. Please ensure that any drinks – non-fizzy – are provided in sealed non-glass containers. Please also ensure that no nut products are included in lunch boxes as we have a number of children with nut allergies.

From September the school will be changing the way they provide meals at the school. Hot meals will be prepared off site and frozen then delivered to site in weekly batches, they will then be slow cooked on site on the day for the children. This is the same provider that was offering a tasting session on site during the summer fair and the feedback on the quality and taste of the meals was very positive.

Please find below the new menu we will be offering from September, It has been marked on the menu which options are Gluten Free and Dairy Free. All side dishes have been checked and are Gluten and Dairy free. We will also be offering Gluten and Dairy free desserts every day in addition to the menu.

Due to this change we will also be transferring the ordering of lunch on to the parent portal. Parents can log into the portal and navigate to the meals section, Select the academic year 25/26 and select their child's meal options in advance. We hope this will help parents and carers to speak to your children about all the options on the menu and help them understand what they are then select the one your child prefers. Children will no longer have the option of ordering their lunch on the day. Meals have to be ordered 11 days in advance to ensure there is enough time for the company to deliver the meals to the school. Parents are able to book each day individually on the portal or book options for the whole term. If no meal selection has been made on the parent portal we will assume the child will be home packed lunch on that day.
