School Dinners

School meals offer great value for money and provide your child with a nutritious, tasty meal cooked fresh every day.

School meals are:

*Nutritionally balanced to ensure they are low in fat, sugar and salt and high in vitamins and minerals – healthier than many packed lunches
*Helping your child to concentrate throughout the day – a hot meal at lunch-time provides energy – as well as encouraging them to try new foods
*Produced to a high quality using locally produced ingredients
*Helping your child to learn the social skills that eating and interacting with others brings
*Great value for money – £2.40 for a primary school meal two choice – allergen information attached
