School Meals

Our catering provision is provided by an external catering contractor, Caterlink.

Caterlink is a leading provider of contract catering to the education sector throughout the UK. They pride themselves on innovation and commitment to finding imaginative new ways to enhance every learner’s dining experience, by making school food tasty and appealing.

All meals must be booked in advance via your Arbor account. Meals are free for children in EYFS to Year 2 and those entitled to benefit-related Free School Meals in other year groups. For other pupils, the cost is £2.60 per day.

Lunch booking closes on Arbor at 9:00am each day. We can accept late orders up until 9:30am; please contact the school office. Please click here for a step-by-step guide on how to pre-book a school meal.

We do not operate a home lunch option; pupils can bring a packed lunch if they do not wish to have a school meal. Please Note: Nuts of any kind, including chocolate spread containing nuts or hot food (e.g. soup) in thermos flasks etc, should not be brought into school.

Snacks and Drinks

All pupils are welcome to bring in a healthy snack and a drink of water from home and are encouraged to bring a bottle of water to lessons.

In addition, we provide all our Foundation Stage pupils with a drink of milk each day – this is essential for healthy development and over and above the stated statutory requirement.
