If your child prefers a vegetarian diet there is a selection of suitable dishes on the menu every day and you don’t need to complete a Specific Dietary form.

Snacks and Lunch

Healthy snack
Healthy snack

Please can we encourage children to have ONE healthy snack at break time. We are now in the situation where many children have so many snacks at break, that they are left with little or no time to play. We also ask you to consider what you give your child as a snack. High content sugary snacks do not promote good concentration and learning.
