Fresh delicious dinners
The school is working with a local catering team to provide healthy school meals.
There is a 3 week menu cycle, with two hot choices each day, meat or vegetarian or a filled jacket potato and a choice of salads, with a selection of desserts and fresh fruit each day.
All reception, Year 1 and Year 2 pupils are entitled to a free school meal. Meals cost £2.50 for primary pupils and £2.75 per day for secondary pupils unless you are entitled to claim for a free school meal.

Did you know about Free School Meals and the Pupil Premium Funding?
Parents apply for funding via the online form and are notified by the council if they are eligible.
Once the funding has been approved schools are given a pupil premium for children who have qualified for free school meals at any point in the past six years.
The school receives financial support for each of these children.
Schools use this money to boost the pupil’s learning and to help support opportunities such as music lessons and school trips to become more affordable for parents.
You can see how we use our pupil premium grant here.
