Food in School
We promote healthy eating in school, especially when it comes to snacks.
Infant children are asked not to bring any snacks into school as they are provided with a free piece of fruit each, at every morning break. Similarly, if junior children wish to have a snack at morning break, they may bring a piece of fruit.
Children are encouraged to bring a bottle of water to school each day. Please label the bottle with your child’s name and ONLY FILL WITH WATER – juices and fizzy drinks are not permitted in school.
Lunchtime
- Children may go home for lunch
- Children may bring a packed lunch in Key Stage 2
- Children may have a school dinner cooked onsite by Dolce Catering
When in Key Stage 2 please provide packed lunches in non-breakable, named containers and with non-fizzy drinks.

Their aim is to offer both a popular meal choice and an experience that helps children and young adults adventure in food. They provide appealing, seasonal and nutritious menus cooked fresh from raw ingredients and a team of chefs blend popular home cooked dishes with exciting fresh contemporary options to ensure menus stay popular and nutritionally on point.
