Lunch

From September 2026, our caterer will be Edwards and Ward.  

There is a three-week menu cycle, offering one daily hot meal option.  For general dietary preferences, parents may choose from a meat, vegetarian or third choice (e.g. hero pasta or jacket potato, alternating daily).  Your child's meal will need to be ordered in advance via SCOPay.  Please contact the school office if you need any support with this.  

Special diets and allergies

If your child requires a special diet for medical reasons, please go to the Edwards and Ward website to complete their online form.  No alternatives can be offered unless this form is completed.  Our Catering Supervisor is very happy to discuss with any parent what alternatives are available should you wish to talk to her.

How much does a school meal cost and what’s included?

School meals are FREE for all Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 pupils, regardless of household income (a saving of over £480) as part of a government initiative.  This entitles your child to a balanced main course, dessert, fresh bread daily and access to a salad bar.

If you do not want your child to have a school meal, you must give at least a week's notice to take them out of the system.  Packed lunches should be brought in a named lunch box and be taken into the classroom each morning where they will be stored safely until lunchtime.  They should not contain any type of nuts, chocolate, sweets, fizzy drinks or food that needs to be chilled/heated.  Below is a leaflet with suggestions on types of healthy foods to pack.

Morning Snacks and Water 

The school also participates in the fruit and vegetable scheme which means every child is offered a healthy snack at morning break time.  This is provided free.  Children are not allowed to bring any other form of snack.  We do encourage every child to bring a bottle of water which they are allowed to drink from during the school day.  Each classroom either has its own water fountain in the cloakrooms or has drinking water available from the sinks in the classrooms.

Milk

Many of our children also enjoy milk at morning break.  This is provided through a company called Cool Milk (link below).  Free milk is provided through this scheme for children under the age of 5 or for those who receive free school meals (certain criteria must be met) if you apply for it.
