School Lunches
Parents have the option of providing a packed lunch for their child or a school lunch can be purchased, by booking in advance, please see below for further information. Crisps are discouraged in packed lunches except on Fridays and children are not expected to have chocolate bars, fizzy, fruit juice/squash or energy drinks, only water is permitted.
Parents may be eligible to apply for free school lunches for their child and we will be pleased to advise, in the strictest confidence, anybody requiring help.
For those children bringing a packed lunch from home we need to ensure satisfactory storage of the meal until lunchtime. The packed lunch should be in a clearly labelled lunch box and not in a carrier bag!
