School Meals

All our school meals are prepared fresh daily by our own catering staff. There is a choice of a hot meal, a jacket potato with cheese, beans or tuna or a baguette* with a choice of ham, cheese or tuna filling.

All three meal options are served with a daily choice of vegetables/salad and a homemade dessert. 

* PLEASE NOTE THAT BAGUETTES ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE AS AN OPTION ONLY ON A FRIDAY.

School meals cost £2.70 each and meals must be paid for in advance via ParentPay. ParentPay offers you the freedom to make payments whenever and wherever you like, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
