All our meals are prepared fresh on-site each day by our Kitchen Team, led by Mark Wade. As well as the hot meal choices, children also have the choice of the salad bar. The cost of school meals are £2.60 daily, £13.00 weekly, which are payable in advance using your online SIMS Pay account. Children in classes R to year 2 receive the universal free school meal. Children in years 3 to 6 have to pay for meals through their child's School Money online account, unless you qualify for free school meals.
Please note that when sausages are on the menu, these are either pork or chicken sausages, dependant on the child's dietary requirements from their application form. If you are unsure, please ring the office to check. Thank you
