School Dinners

Our school meals are cooked on the school site by Caterlink, our contract provider. Children are served a healthy main course including a range of self-serve salad options. The children can choose to have the dessert of the day, a piece of fruit or a yogurt. The school dinner menu is wide and varied. The children are supplied with the menu at the beginning of each new term. The school kitchen will cater for children on dairy or gluten free diets, vegetarians and children who follow religious dietary observance.

Crisps and High-Salt Snacks

We inform parents/carers about best practices for packing lunches, and ask them to:
●Use insulated, sealed bags for perishable foods
●Label lunch bags and their contents with the child’s name
●Make sure that the food is suitable for the child’s developmental needs and is prepared in a way to prevent choking

Some of our children suffer from nut allergies and because of this we are a 'nut free school'. We ask that parents do not provide food items containing nuts in their child’s packed lunch.

Managing other special dietary requirements

We are committed to supporting children with special dietary requirements and food intolerances, ensuring that every child can eat safely and in accordance with their cultural needs and preferences.
Before a child joins our school, we gather detailed information about any special dietary or health requirements, food preferences and intolerances. We share this information with all staff involved in preparing and handling food. Our caterers plan menus to include food substitutions, where necessary, for children with special dietary requirements in mind.
We also:
● Check any product changes with our food suppliers
● Ensure caterers read labels and product information before using a product
● Supervise children at mealtimes to avoid food sharing Children with dietary requirements wear lanyards. These display the child’s name,
photograph and dietary requirements. Children wear these every time they collect their dinner and pudding to ensure they only eat the foods they are allowed.

Birthday Celebrations

If parents/carers wish to bring in food for special occasions, we ask that they only do this on 1 of the following:
●For their own child’s birthday
●When asked to by the school
●When it has been agreed in advance

Food brought into school must not contain:
● Nuts or sesame

We ask that they follow the following guidelines:
● Provide healthy birthday celebration options (e.g. fruit platters) or non-edible items
(e.g. stickers) to share with the children, to promote consistent healthy eating messages
● Consider sharing healthy dishes during wider school celebrations, such as cake sales
and International Day celebrations

OPAL Lunchtimes

OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning)

We have just launched our exciting OPAL (Outdoor Play And Learning) provision at lunchtime.

Our vision is that every child in every school has an amazing high-quality play session every day – with no exceptions.

For this provision, your children will need welly boots and waterproof clothing so that they are ready to explore all of the play opportunities on offer.
