Lunch Menus
Menus will be emailed to parents termly. If you do not yet receive emails, please contact the school office. Thank you.
We are delighted to be having our meals provided by IDEAL. If you wish your child to have hot dinners then you can sign up to them using the download below. Meals cost £2.30 per day. You are not obliged to have every meal within the fortnightly order period. Some children choose to have hot dinners every other day or just on a particular day.
You will see that every day there is a wide selection of meals. Each day there are five different options…from a traditional roast dinner to a jacket potato.
