Carol's Kitchen

School meals are provided by our in-house catering team “Carol’s Kitchen”.  We aim to provide a varied menu using fresh British meat, fresh vegetables, fresh salad and fresh fruit every day.

Each day, your child will be asked if they are having a school meal or a packed lunch from home.  All pupils having a school lunch are given a choice of a main meal, vegetarian option, pasta of the day or a filled jacket potato.  

All meals are served with seasonal vegetables and salad and homemade bread is available every day.  A selection of pudding choices are offered including a hot or cold dessert, cheese and biscuits, yoghurt and sliced fresh fruit.  

There is no requirement for pupils to sign up on a weekly or a term basis and children can decide on the day if they are having a school dinner.  Main courses are chosen at registration to enable us to cook to order, which ensures your child gets their choice and means there is less waste.  Desserts are chosen at the counter and not pre-ordered.

Please help your child to choose their meal.  If you can find time first thing in the morning to talk to your child about the menu for the day, this speeds up registration in the morning. 

All meals are prepared on site by skilled staff and they’re free for all Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 pupils.  Meals for Key Stage 2 pupils (Years 3, 4, 5 and 6) are payable in advance using the Arbor App and are charged at £2.60 per meal unless eligible for free school meals (see below for further information). 

If your child has any allergies, is unable to have certain foods due to religious grounds or if you have any queries regarding the menu ingredients, please ask the School Office.  Please note we do not serve Halal meat in school.
