A cooked lunch or school packed lunch is available, prepared in our own kitchen, and we would certainly recommend that your child take advantage of this facility. The children are offered good quality food which they will enjoy and which also reflects the national healthy eating agenda for the future. All menus are nutritionally analysed to help children make balanced meal choices. Care is taken to provide a choice each day to cater for all diets and tastes.
We have recently changed our dinner system to School Grid. Parents are able to log in and order meals for their child from the Herts Catering menu, online, in advance. There will be 3 choices of meals each day (usually a meat option, vegetarian option and a roll option). When a child starts the school, an email will be sent to the parent to sign up and make an account for School Grid. Parents must log in to order meals, otherwise children will be expected to have a home packed lunch with them. Meals can be ordered, weeks, terms or months in advance. Special menu days, e.g. Christmas Lunch must also be ordered through School Grid. It is also the parents responsibility to ensure meals are cancelled if their child is absent. If your child is in Key Stage 2 and not entitled to Free School Meals, credit must be on the account to be able to order meals (meals are charged at £3.15 per day). Please note, all meal payments are done on School Grid and we do not accept cash/cheques.
If your child has any allergies, please contact the school office as a special menu application will need to be made to Herts Catering. This menu will then be uploaded to School Grid so meals can be ordered.
Parents/ carers who think that they may be eligible for free meals should visit the Herts Direct website.
Our kitchen was given an overall rating of 5 which is very good for National Food Hygiene Rating Scheme in July 2022.
Some parents/carers prefer their child to bring a packed lunch. Please note that we promote healthy eating – chocolate bars and fizzy drinks are not permitted in lunch boxes.
PLEASE NOTE – we are a nut free school. This means no children are allowed to bring any kind of nuts into school, including nut spreads, e.g. nutella, etc.
Please contact the school office for more information.
