Breaktime

KS1 – Milk & Fruit

Children will receive free milk until they turn 5 years old. If you wish for your child to have milk after this time, this must be booked and paid for on the Arbor app, a term in advance at a cost of £12 per term.  

Children will receive a piece of fruit for snack each day.

Break time 11:00am - 11:15am

Lunchtimes 

Every child in Year 1 is entitled to a free school dinner. You must make a meal selection on Arbor the day before by 11.30pm. If you do not make a meal selection, then your child will be given a cheese sandwich and a piece of fruit.

If you wish, you may send in a healthy packed lunch for your child to eat if they do not want a hot dinner from school.

Lunch time 12:00pm - 12:45pm

Please note: We are a nut free school as we have many children with serious allergies. Please do not send anything into school that contains nuts, this includes chocolate spread.

Our Menu’s can be found under the parent tab- School Menus
