School Meals

WE ARE A NUT FREE SCHOOL

A healthy school meal can be purchased and a menu is sent home every half term. Children may, alternatively, bring their own packed lunch from home but we do ask parents or guardians to ensure that this is a healthy lunch in line with our ‘Healthy Food Policy’. Pupils bringing a packed lunch are strongly encouraged not to bring chocolate or similar unhealthy foods on a daily basis.

EYFS/KS1 Meals

All EYFS/Key Stage One pupils (Reception-Year 2) are entitled to a Free School Meal in school.

For more information about school meals in North Yorkshire please go to: North Yorkshire School Meals.

We do not accept cash payments for school meals. Please make sure your Parentpay account is activated and dinner accounts are kept in credit.  If you need an activation letter please contact the school office.

All school meals must be ordered in advance on the School Grid system.  If you need the link to the system, please contact the school office.

KS2 Meals

We encourage all pupils to eat a healthy and well-balanced school meal. Parents in KS2 can choose to access the school meals menu (Paid per day) or alternatively, childrn can bring in a packed lunch.

Children on school meals use a ‘check-in’ system to ensure they are given the correct meal choice.

Children eating a packed lunch should try to eat a balanced menu, avoiding excessive sweets and snacks. For further information, please see below:
