Pupils can choose a school meal and have a selection of meals available in the PDF attached for your reference. All meat used in our meals is Halal. Parents who choose for their child to have a healthy school meal, must commit to a school meal for the current half term and cannot switch to a packed lunch mid-term unless you have a prior agreement from the School Office.

All children in Early Years and Key Stage 1 are entitled to Universal Infant Free School Meals (UIFSM).
