School lunches are provided by Alliance in Partnership Limited and are cooked fresh daily on site. All dishes produced meet the government’s ‘Nutritional Standards.’
Alliance in Partnership Limited are a very experienced catering company in the education market, with both primary and secondary schools.
All children in Reception, Year 1 and 2 are entitled to Universal Free School Meals. Alliance in Partnership Limited ask that you as parents support the government initiative of Universal Free School Meals and take up this opportunity. Funding for the provision of these meals will be tightly monitored and meals cannot be produced if they are not ordered in advance. At the end of September, if you feel your child no longer wishes to take the meal option, please advise the school office. Parents will then be responsible for providing a packed lunch when they opt out.
All meals are booked and paid for, in advance, via ParentPay. A code will be generated on enrolment to our school. Please see some important information below relating to school lunches:
All meals must be booked by 11.59pm, the Wednesday before the week commences. After this time, you will be unable to book hot meals.
- If your child has any allergies or dietary requirements, these can be dealt with on an individual basis and should be communicated with the school office.
- If your child is in receipt of Universal Free School Meals, these will also need booking through ParentPay.
- The kitchen can provide sandwiches and wraps, as long as these are booked in advance.
- Lunches can be taken on selected days for £2.20 a day or for the whole week at £11.00.
- You can block book meals if that is more convenient. Please speak to the school office if you are unsure of how to do this.
Please see the information below regarding free school meals. Please apply online using the link below which will take you to the online form on the Citizen Portal. Even if you don’t think you are eligible, it is always worth a try as you never know!
