School Meals
At lunchtime pupils can either choose to take a hot school meal or bring their own packed lunch.
Hot meals are cooked on site with the kitchen currently providing around 150 pupils and adult meals. Menus are designed to provide a balanced and healthy diet and we work closely with the school meal provider and our cook, to ensure that the menus also reflect pupils' tastes. Special dietry needs can be catered for and parents are encouraged to discuss their child's needs with the kitchen staff who can be contacted through the school office.
