It is proven that pupils who have good, healthy diets, particularly during the school day, are more productive and more able to focus. Please feel free to read the information below about meals and snacks in school.
Chartwells provide our school meals. Chartwells believe that the key to fuelling young minds comes from understanding both what they need and what they enjoy, which is why they develop nutritious and delicious food that pupils love, alongside helping to ensure a healthy body and mind. They work closely with us to ensure every child receives healthy food, perfectly suited to meet their needs and dietary requirements.
The current meal price is £2.50
For children with food intolerances and allergies, Chartwells have a team of medical diet nutritionists on hand to support allergen aware children and their parents. More information on their medical diet process can be found here: The Chartwells Approach to Medical Diets | Chartwells

A Healthy School
Water Bottles
We ask that parents ensure their child brings a water bottle to school each day and that it is washed and refilled with fresh water.
Milk
Fresh milk is available for all pupils at morning break time. For children under 5 years old it is free, for older pupils there is a small termly charge. Milk is ordered directly from Cool Milk at Schools Ltd. (Tel: 0800 3897157).
Fruit
As part of the National Fruit Scheme, all infant children are given a piece of fresh fruit at morning break time. Please let us know if you do not wish your child to have fruit. Older pupils may bring a healthy snack of fresh or dried fruit or vegetables but NOT nuts (due to severe allergies of several pupils across school) Please note that sweets, chocolate bars and nuts are not allowed in school at any time.
