School Meals

There is a hot main meal and vegetarian option available each day. Menus are on a three weekly cycle and are available on the website, as well on the noticeboard next to the dining room. School lunches cost £2.50 per day. Payments can be made for any value at any time, however we do ask that your daughter’s lunch account remains in credit. There is an email/text alert facility within ParentPay that will allow you to set a reminder when the dinner money balance is low. If your daughter decides to change to packed lunches we request that this is only done at the beginning of a term and we require a minimum of 1 weeks’ notice in writing please, to Mrs Claramunt.

Students are offered a snack at morning break:

Mondays – apples

Tuesdays – cheese and biscuits

Wednesdays – bananas

Thursdays – cereal bar

Fridays – apples

During the current COVID-19 pandemic students are required to bring enough drinks into school for the day, there will be no access to water fountains during this time.

School Food Standards

Packed lunches

Only a small proportion of students have a packed lunch which says much about the food on offer. There is a no fizzy drinks policy in school.
