Lunch and healthy eating

Free school meals, the menu, snacks and water bottles

✔ Checked: 25.9.2026

School dinners

Every pupil from Reception to Year 6 can have a free school meal every day. Chartwells cooks our meals.

See this term's menu on the menu page.

Allergies and intolerances: tell the school cook in writing if your child has an allergy or intolerance.

Packed lunches

Your child can bring a packed lunch instead. We encourage a balanced lunchbox, for example:

  • sandwiches or wraps
  • fresh fruit and vegetables
  • pasta salad
  • cheese or yoghurt
  • oat bars (nut-free, and watch the sugar)

Healthy snacks only

At snack time we allow healthy snacks only. No crisps, chocolate or sweets. Good ideas:

  • fresh fruit - apple, banana, berries
  • vegetable sticks with hummus
  • unsweetened yoghurt
  • rice cakes, oatcakes or wholegrain crackers
  • cubes of cheese

Foundation Learning children have fruit and milk each afternoon.

🥜 Nut-free school

We are a nut-free school, to protect pupils with allergies. Please keep nuts out of snacks and lunchboxes.

💧 Water only

Only water goes in classroom bottles. Send a reusable bottle, filled with fresh water every day.
