School meals
Children can either bring in a balanced packed lunch or order a school dinner. These are freshly cooked daily on site by Aspens Services.
Click Here to order your child's meal. A welcome letter will be sent to you by the school to register with Swiftkitchen to be able to place orders for school dinner. School dinners are currently £3.20 per day.
In addition to the traditional menu that can be downloaded below, there are the following two options:
- Jacket Potato - available daily with cheese, tuna or beans
- Pasta - available daily with homemade tomato sauce and cheese (if required)
Home Packed Lunch
Please make these as balanced and as healthy as possible. There are several children with severe nut allergies, please DO NOT send in foods containing nuts. Please remind your child(ren) not to share food.
Healthy Snacks
We encourage all children to have a healthy snack at break-time. Children can bring in their own but should not be bringing sweets, crisps or chocolate bars into school at all. All children have access to drinking fountains during learning breaks.

We make sure that our Food Festival menus are packed with comfort dishes and, at the same time, we help pupils to take their first steps with new tastes to explore.
We don’t just provide food, we play our part to educate children and raise awareness about nutrition, food and where it comes from, so that they can make informed and mindful choices. Feeding our future.

The school menu rotates on a three-week basis and refreshes for Autumn/Winter and Spring/Summer seasons. The current menu for school dinners can be downloaded below.
How school meals can support your child’s diet
All children need a nutritious, balanced meal to grow and meet their full potential.
School meals need to be compliant with the School Food Standards. These were created to help children develop healthy eating habits and ensure that they get the energy and nutrition they need across the whole school day. Therefore, parents should be able to trust that the school’s menu has been developed based on scientific nutrition research.
