Olive Dining

Our school meals service is run by Olive Dining with whom we work closely to ensure we offer the highest quality meals and service.

Children are offered a three week menu cycle, which is always comprised of our children’s favourite meals and some new dishes.  The menu changes on a termly basis and, where possible, tries to incorporate seasonal produce.  The menus are rigorously checked by dieticians at Olive Dining to ensure they are nutritionally balanced across the week. Each day, there are two hot meal options (one of which is always vegetarian), accompanying vegetables, salad and desserts, including fresh fruit.

You can find out more about Olive Dining on their website here.

 

Paying for School Meals

School meals are free for all children this academic year.  We encourage all of our parents/carers to take advantage of this.  The meals are cooked on site in the school kitchen.  

Please find the menus on this page and discuss these with your child so that you can pre-order their menu choice on our Arbor system.  It is the parent/carers responsibility to keep all medical and allergy information up to date on Arbor and should you wish to discuss any of the menus regarding allergy information please contact our catering manager via the school office.

 

Nut Free School

A reminder that we are a ‘nut-free’ school.  We DO NOT allow nuts of ANY kind in ANY form! Please ensure there are no nut products in your child’s lunch boxes for example: peanut butter sandwiches, chocolate spreads, cereal bars, some granola bars, This list is not exhaustive, so please check the packaging of products closely. 

 

 

Packed Lunches

Children may choose to bring a packed lunch to school. This must be in a clearly labelled rigid container.

Breaktime Fruit

KS1 children will be provided with fruit/vegetables on a daily basis.  This is part of our ongoing work as a 'Healthy School.'  The fruit is provided by the National Fruit Scheme.  Children can choose to bring in their own fruit in a named container if they wish.  Grapes and cherries should be cut into small pieces and de-stoned.

KS2 children are required to bring their own fruit/vegetables for a breaktime snack in a named container if they wish.  Grapes and cherries should be cut into small pieces and de-stoned.

 

Milk

All children under 5 are entitled to free school milk. We have signed up to a company called ‘Cool Milk’ that deliver fresh milk to the school.

If you wish your child to receive a carton of milk each day please complete the registration form online here.  Once your child reaches their 5th birthday you can continue with the scheme but will be required to pay for the milk.
