School Meals

At lunch time children can have either a school meal that is prepared each day in our school kitchen or bring a packed lunch from home. 

School meals are provided in school by Hertfordshire Catering Limited. There is a daily choice of balanced nutritional meals including a hot, vegetarian and packed lunch options. 

Children bringing packed lunches can purchase a Friday Fun Lunch if they wish. All lunch payments should be made in advance.

Information on the cost of meals can be obtained from Mrs Conroy in the school office.

Our school lunch menu can be adapted for children who have dietary requirements so please speak to the office staff who can advise on the online reporting system run by Hertfordshire Catering.
