Lunch

We have a hot servery in our kitchen where meals are served from. We use an award winning local school meal provider, Lataca. They provide healthy school meals, using local suppliers where possible and have been awarded the Wiltshire Council 'eat out eat well' Gold award encouraging healthy eating choices. Children have a choice of 2 hot meals or a cold option, side accompaniments and a dessert. Parents may choose which days they wish their child to have a school lunch and orders and payment is made via ParentMail.

Children may bring packed lunches to be eaten under supervision in the dining hall.

 

Universal Infant Free School Meals

 

From September 2014 all pupils in Reception (Emerald Class), Year 1 and Year 2 (Amethyst and Sapphire Classes) will be eligible for a free school meal. The legal requirement on schools will be to provide a lunchtime meal that meets the School Food Standards. Children will routinely be offered a hot meal option. School meals are healthy, tasty, social and fun and from September choosing a school lunch for your child/children will help save you up to £400 per year if you take up the offer. Meat and vegetarian options are available every day, and we can cater for children who require allergy and/or intolerance diets. For further information contact the School Office.
