Please see below links to our information publications for parents/carers of Reception students and parents/carers of those students moving up to Key Stage 2.

Parents / Carers and children have the option to choose a school dinner or bring in a packed lunch. Please note that we require one week's notice to change the meal arrangement - this helps our catering staff to order the correct amount of food.

Please see our menu options below - we offer hot meals, a main and a vegetarian option.

We operate a system where school lunches need to be ordered in advance online by the child's Parent/Carer, via Arbor.  Instructions on how to order your child's school lunches can be found on the Arbor website here:  Meal Menu choices on the Parent Portal or Parent App

We ask that, when possible, you order lunches at least a week in advance. The deadline for ordering will be 8.30am on the day your child has lunch. Please note that after this time you will not be able to make any changes to your child's lunch order.
