School Meals

Our school dinners are prepared on site, using locally sourced ingredients where possible (sometimes even using vegetables grown by the children in the poly tunnel). We have a 3 week menu with at least 2 options, one of which will always be vegetarian. A school dinner currently costs £2.40.

The preferred method of payment is via the school’s online payment facility School Money

All infant children receive a free school meal under the Governments Universal Infant Free School Meals Scheme.
