School Lunches

Our cooked school meals are produced by Hampshire Catering. You can see more about typical menus on their website.

Please check with the school office for our menu choices each day.

 

Children in Key Stage 2 are not entitled to a free meal unless they meet the criteria for free school meals and have successfully registered. The current cost of a school meal is £3.20 per day paid for up front so that all dinner money accounts are kept in credit. Payment can be made online using the link on our website.

 

In the event that an account has an outstanding balance, which we appreciate could happen through some oversight, we will notify parents and expect the debt to be cleared within 24 hours. If after this time the amount is still outstanding your child will need to bring in a packed lunch as we will not be able to provide a full school meal until the debt has been cleared. We will contact you on the day to inform you that this is happening. Any long standing debt will be referred to Hampshire County Council’s Legal Department for action.
