Lunch Menu

School meals offer great value for money and provide your child with a nutritious, tasty meal cooked fresh every day. 

School meals are:

Nutritionally balanced to ensure they are low in fat, sugar and salt and high in vitamins and minerals – healthier than many packed lunches

Helping your child to concentrate throughout the day – a hot meal at lunch-time provides energy – as well as encouraging them to try new foods

Produced to a high quality using locally produced ingredients

Helping your child to learn the social skills that eating and interacting with others brings

Great value for money - £2.00 for a primary school meal
