For the convenience of parents, we run a termly charging system for food. This helps us effectively manage costs and offset the effects of food inflation. We work closely with a professional nutritionist, Amanda Ursell, to continuously improve our food provision which includes a convenient, contemporary, ‘grab and go’ cold selection alongside a varied hot food menu that operates on a three-week cycle.

The cost for 2024/25 will be £249 per term per child. This is equivalent to £4.40 a day when paid termly and gives pupils the daily lunchtime choice of salads, soups, sandwiches, hot dinners, vegetables, and desserts; children will also be provided with a freshly baked snack at break time. For those that have opted out of termly billing the daily cost of lunch will be £5.95. Your child will also be able to purchase additional snacks, cooked breakfast and other additional food items on a pre-paid card.
