Chocolate, biscuits and other high sugary snacks are not allowed.
For children in Nursery, Reception and KS 1 toast is also available to purchase and our staff serve fruit and vegetable snacks provided free of charge. Snacks, which vary day to day, include:
Lunch is prepared in our school kitchen fresh each day and is served from 12.50-1.35pm for pupils. Please click on the link below to see a copy of the lunch menu.

We are delighted to have partnered with the National Breakfast Programme to provide bagels each morning from 8.40am-8.50am. These are completely free and available as children walk through the gate.
