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 School Gateway app, a term in advance at a cost of £12 per term.  You must make the payment on School Gateway the first week of the term.  After this time you will be unable to make payments and will have to wait until the following term if you would like your child to have milk at school.

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. The class teacher will ask your child their choice of meal every morning.

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
