School Lunches

We are proud to work with Chartwells for your children’s school dinners.  Chartwells believe that the key to fuelling young minds comes from understanding both what they need and what they enjoy, which is why they develop nutritious and delicious food that pupils love, alongside helping to ensure a healthy body and mind.  Their passionate culinary experts work closely with us to ensure every child receives healthy food, perfectly suited to meet their needs and dietary requirements.

From 1 June 2025 the cost of a school meal is £2.95 a day.

School lunch menus operate on a three week rolling programme.

Spring Menus will commence following the Easter break on 28 April 2025.
