Lunch Menus, Packed Lunches and Snack Information
.pdf)
Please ask at the school office if your child would like to try school lunches. School Lunches are currently £2.80 per meal. Orders and payments are made through The Evolve meals service. We can cater for all sorts of dietary requirements.
You can check your eligibility, and apply for Free School Meals here: https://www.trafford.gov.uk/residents/schools/trafford-catering/free-school-meals.aspx
Even if your child prefers packed lunches, we ask that all parents and carers who think they might qualify complete the form. We get an extra £1,455 for each pupil who is eligible for free school meals and this funds many excellent resources and activities for the children.
Snacks, Packed Lunches and Birthday Treats - We try to keep a good balance between parental choice, healthy eating standards and common sense when it comes to our food policy and guidance. Here is a summary of our policy:
Morning Snacks - fruit and vegetables are preferred. No crisps, chocolate or snacks with icing/chocolate coating please
Water only - no cordial in bottles (we will replace with water)
Packed Lunches - Some children’s lunch boxes have been found to contain a lot of sweet treats/chocolate bars and very little else. Please try to include sandwiches, wraps or other savoury foods, fruit and vegetables. We do not stop pupils from eating items from lunchboxes, but we do ask you to keep meals balanced. We will get in contact with you if we have ongoing concerns
Birthday Treats - If you wish to bring sweets for your child’s birthday (this is optional), please:
Avoid sweets with gelatine (pork or beef). Look for the ‘V’ for vegetarian labels to be safe.
Children should not eat sweets until they have left the school premises (safety). This also gives parents and carers the opportunity to check items if they are suitable.
Teachers are not responsible for sorting or checking sweets brought in by parents.
