School Dinners

School lunches are prepared and cooked on the premises daily by our cooks, using only the freshest preservative and additive free ingredients. There is always a vegetarian option and all efforts are made to cater for everyone's tastes. The current price of cooked school lunch is £2.40 which we feel represents good value for a nutritionally balanced meal.

Alternatively children may bring a packed lunch into school.

Children sit in mixed age groups within the school hall and are looked after by Mrs Tobin and Mrs Jenkins who are our mealtime assistants.

Lunch money is paid for in advance either weekly, monthly, or half termly. We encourage the use of Parentpay which is a website to pay for dinners online. However can take cheques made payable to First Federation Trust.
