School Lunch

The midday break is 12.00 pm - 1.05 pm. Children may choose on a daily basis whether they have a hot school lunch or bring a packed lunch provided by you.

All Infant School children are eligible for Universal Free School Meals.  This means that you do not have to pay for a hot lunch at School. HC3S the County Council's Catering Service provides the meals.

There is a daily menu for our school with two meal choices and each choice is colour coded RED or GREEN (meat free option).  Once your child has made their selection, they must inform their Class Teacher at morning registration.  This means that the kitchen can cook to order and each child should get the meal they have selected.

The HC3S menu is published on their website and is also available to download in a number of languages translated for parents.

On a Tuesday in the Autumn and Spring Terms, HC3S offer Jacket Potatoes.  Your child can choose this option and the fillings are as follows: Cheese, Beans & Tuna Mayonnaise. 

There is also lots of information for our new Year R families ahead of their child starting school this year.

Please note that we are a NUT-FREE school!

We are able to cater for children who for various reasons may need to follow a special diet - HC3S our catering contractor are able to produce a nutritionally balanced diet based upon your child's specific needs.  

During the lunchtime period, the children are cared for by Lunchtime Supervisory Assistants.  They will monitor what the children eat and assist in any way to ensure the children are happy during their mealtimes.
