School Meals

We have an excellent catering team who provide high quality food. There is always a vegetarian selection and salad bar with an emphasis on healthy eating.

 

Our cook can usually cater for special dietary needs - please see below for further information. 

 

We use a ‘Multi Choice Extra’ menu where children are able to choose on the day (during morning registration with their teacher) from a choice of hot meals. Please see below a menu showing all the options available - it is a good idea to look at this regularly with your child so that they are familiar with the options on offer. If you wish your child to have school meals, priced at £3.15 per day, please ensure that your child's Arbor meal account is in credit. Children are encouraged to have a hot meal in school, however if your child would like to bring a packed lunch in on any day then that is fine. Note that some of our children have serious allergies and therefore we are a nut free school, so please check all food labels carefully and keep this in mind when sending food in for your child, thank you.

Packed Lunches

Children are able to bring packed lunches. Please remember that peanut butter or Nutella cannot be used as a sandwich filling; some of our pupils have serious allergies and this could trigger a severe reaction. We politely ask that you DO NOT inculde NUTS in any lunchboxes.

 

(Cans, glass bottles and fizzy drinks are also not allowed.)

 

Special Dietary Requirements

Our school meals are prepared by Herts Catering ltd, who strive to ensure that all pupils are able to access them.  Where there are special medical requirements, please do speak to us and we will be able to consider ways in which we can help.

 

All children who currently have a special Medical, or a Cultural or Religious menu preference/option, must register.  Please note that when registering for a Medical Menu, you will be asked to upload evidence from a medical professional and your child’s photograph. No application can be processed without this evidence. This ensures that special menus are provided for those who really need it and not to accommodate personal preferences. A photograph will also be required when applying for a Cultural and Religious Menu.
