Midday meals are cooked in school and are the healthiest yet. Vertas Eats are continuously revising the menus to make them nutritious & attractive to pupils. There is a three weekly menu each term, providing a varied choice for the children including a vegetarian option & salads.
The cost for a school lunch is £2.53 (£12.65 per week) this is collected in school by cash or cheque..
Packed lunches
We have a 'healthy snacks' policy and this also extends to lunches brought in from home.
If we are concerned about the lunches a child brings in we will contact the child's parents.
In addition to our selection of hot school meals, the kitchen can produce school packed lunches for children (if ordered in advance). These will include cheese, ham and tuna mayo wraps.
