Our school meals are provided by Caterlink. Healthy eating is at the very heart of their approach to food and they work with the school to encourage balanced diets for our children. Meals are largely, freshly prepared on site using a range of seasonal produce from local and regional suppliers.

School meals are priced at £2.35 per day.  All meals should be ordered and paid for via ParentPay.

 Universal Free School Meals

All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 classes automatically receive universal infant free school meals.  However, if you meet the qualifying criteria, completing an application for benefits-related free school meals could also help your child access free activities and food provision during the school holidays.
