School Dinners

School meals are now provided by Independent Catering Educator Limited, who cook on-site in the school’s kitchen.

As the school’s new catering provider, Independent Catering provides a freshly made lunch in our school kitchens using locally grown produce from the UK. Complementing the 3 choices of main meal and vegetables your child can supplement their lunch with a freshly prepared salad from the salad bar and a choice of 4 desserts. Lunch is free for all pupils. Independent Catering has built a great reputation for delivering the best quality, freshly prepared, and seasonally influenced, truly locally sourced menus. Our hot meals are authentic and not from a jar or packet. Salads, bread, and desserts are produced each day using the very best fresh ingredients. Our commitment to using the best that the UK can offer lies at the very heart of our approach to great food all of which contributes to a social dining experience for the children.

 

We operate on a rotating 1 week cycle.

From 1st September 2023 school dinners are free for all children in Reception to Year 6.  

An example of our termly menu is available below, and these are shared with children and parents to ensure children are happy with the choice.
