There is a three-week menu cycle.  The children have a choice of main course and dessert, alongside fresh bread and a salad bar.

We have our own kitchens, catering staff cook meals on the premises.

There has long been a positive association between learning outcomes and nutrition.

The school is nut free, as is the kitchen.  Dietary needs and requirements are able to be met as long as we have been informed.

If your child has any special dietary or nutritional requirements, please contact the school office who will liaise with the catering staff.
