ALL PARENTS/CARERS OF STUDENTS R-Y4 MUST COMPLETE THIS FORM - THANK YOU.  

If you are in receipt of Free School Meals, or if your child is in R-Y2 and therefore eligible for Universal Infant Free School Meals and YOU DO NOT WISH TO TAKE UP THE HOT MEAL - please ensure that you opt out for the entire half term if appropriate, or select no meals required on the relevant days.  

Please find below the new exciting primary (R to Y4) menu choices for the Spring term, including the instruction on how to order these for your child.  There will be a 4 week cycle.

This is a great experience for the children; they are enjoying a hot nutritious meal, experiencing new foods, socialising and serving each other.  We highly recommend this for every child.

If, for some reason, you do not wish to take advantage of the hot Academy meals service - then packed lunches provided from home are recommended to follow the guidance from the Children’s Food Trust.

At this point we do not wish to make this a rule, but trust you will want to provide your child with the best possible support, through a nutritious and balanced packed lunch, that goes on to support their concentration and energy throughout the day.

Packed lunches should include:  
at least one portion of fruit and one portion of vegetables every day  
meat, fish, eggs, or a non-dairy protein (e.g. lentils, kidney beans, chickpeas, houmous, peanut butter, falafel) every day  
oily fish like salmon, at least once a week,  a starchy food, such as bread (white or whole grain rolls, pitta bread or wraps), pasta, rice, couscous, noodles, potatoes or another cereal every day  
a dairy food like milk, cheese, yoghurt, fromage frais or custard every day.  

Packed lunches can occasionally include:
Meat products like sausage rolls, individual pies, corned meat and sausages.  
Cakes and biscuits, but your child should be encouraged to eat these as part of a meal.

A drink does not need to be provided as the Academy will provide free, fresh drinking water at all times.

Please make your child's menu choices below.  

Main meals also receive a dessert of the day.
