Meals & Cool Milk
We are proud to work in partnership with Dolce, a multi award-winning UK education caterer, to provide nutritious and delicious school meals for our children.
Dolce makes lunchtimes the highlight of the day by serving freshly prepared, home-cooked meals made from raw ingredients. Children are offered a choice of four options each day on a three-week menu cycle:
A meat option
A vegetarian option
A jacket potato with a choice of filling
A sandwich or baguette option
All school meals are free for children of infant school age, making this a fantastic opportunity for children to enjoy a healthy, balanced lunch each day.
Children are also welcome to bring a packed lunch from home. To help keep all children safe, we kindly ask that no nut products are included, as some members of our school community have complex allergies.
We also ask families to support our healthy eating message by providing a nutritious packed lunch. Please do not include sweets or fizzy drinks.
Thank you for your support in helping us promote healthy eating and keep our school a safe environment for all children.
Allergies and Dietary Requirements
If your child has any food allergies, these can be added to the Dolce ordering system. Once recorded, any meals containing those allergens cannot be selected, helping you order with confidence. Kitchen staff are also alerted to your child's allergies to ensure meals are prepared and served safely.
If your child has any dietary requirements for religious, medical or ethical reasons, please let the school office know. We will make sure this information is shared with Dolce so that suitable meal options are available.

Fruit and Vegetables
The government funds a free piece of fruit or vegetable each school day. Parents and carers can provide an addition healthy snack if you wish.
Water
Drinking water is available throughout the school day and pupils are encouraged to bring a suitable bottle each day with only water in it. We have our own school water bottle available to purchase from Brenda's if you would like to.
Cool Milk
Children may also have a carton of milk each morning if you register for this. This is operated through a scheme called “Cool Milk”. All under fives can have milk free and over 5's at a subsidised rate. Children can only have the milk if a parent/carer registers them for it (even if they are free school milk).
