Catering
School dinners are cooked on the premises with fresh ingredients and the food is sourced locally.
With the support of the Catering Team at Essex County Council, child friendly menus are created and rotated on a three-weekly basis (please see links below). Menus may be subject to minor changes which will be communicated to you in advance where possible.
Whether your child is having a main meal, vegetarian meal or bringing in a packed lunch, this will need to be logged in advance through Scopay. Menu options will be available for the day that you are ordering and it will not be possible to make on the day changes*.
*If your child is due to be attending a school sporting event or trip, please ensure that you refer to the letter given to you for the lunch arrangements on that day.
The school encourages healthy eating and requires that mid-morning snacks are a piece of fruit or are at least fruit/cereal-based. Under the Fruit and Vegetable Scheme, children in Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 are provided with a piece of fresh fruit or vegetable daily. If your child has a packed lunch, could we kindly ask that you bear in mind our healthy eating policy.
If your child has a food allergy/special dietary requirement then please make sure the school office is aware in writing and take extra care in discussing the dinner menu options with your child.
We would like to remind all parents/carers that we are strictly a NUT FREE school. Please do not send your child into school with any foods or items which may contain nuts.
If you have any queries or concerns regarding school dinners then please contact the school office.
