Having meals in school gives them the opportunity to experience different cuisines and tastes. Our caterers provide a menu with a variety of options including Halal and Vegetarian. We ask that you do not send a packed lunch from home.

Parents and carers will be able to choose meal options and book them in advance via ParentPay. The meal bookings have a cut-off time of Sunday 12 midnight for the following week .

TIP: Book meals for the full half term at once, you can always change them before the cut-off time.
