Children order their lunch in class at morning registration. We follow the Hampshire 3-weekly menu, serving a mix of British classics and foods from around the world plus daily vegetarian options which cater for many different tastes and requirements. Children can also enjoy occasional fun themed menus and seasonal picnic and jacket potato options.
Meals cost £2.80 (from 31st October 2022) and are payable in advance by cash or using the online system. Families in receipt of benefits may be eligible for free meals – please check with the office.

Snacks
During the morning break, year 6 pupils along with the school kitchen, sell a number of snack items, including fruit, milk and freshly baked bread. This is a cash-only service, and 75 pence will buy you a snack and a drink. Alternatively, you are welcome to provide your child with fruit or vegetables as a healthy mid-morning snack. Please see the link below for the full price list:
Water
Children should bring in named, refillable water daily for use in classrooms. Drinking fountains are available on the playground at lunchtime, and children also take their bottles outside.
Nut allergies
At any time, there are a number of children in school who have a nut allergy so we ask that you do not include nuts of any kind in your child’s snack or packed lunch.
