We are proud to have our own 'in house' catering team who take great pride and  pleasure in  serving up freshly cooked meals each day.

The ingredients for our lunches are sourced as locally as possible, and our aim is for ingredients to come from no more than ten miles away.

Along with this children play a part in growing vegetables in our raised beds which are then cooked and served with lunch.

All children in Reception, Years One and Year Two are entitled to free lunches as part of the Government’s Universal Infant Free School Meal policy.

For some of these children, schools will also be able to claim Pupil Premium, which will help provide them with further support. The criteria for eligibility is the same as the free school meal criteria for Key Stage 2 students detailed below.
