School Lunches

Our catering provider is Chartwells and meals are freshly prepared daily on our premises by our catering team of Miss Oakley and Miss Saville.

We are proud to work with Chartwells for your children’s school dinners. Chartwells believe that the key to fuelling young minds comes from understanding both what they need and what they enjoy, which is why they develop nutritious and delicious food that pupils love, alongside helping to ensure a healthy body and mind. Their passionate culinary experts work closely with us to ensure every child receives healthy food, perfectly suited to meet their needs and dietary requirements.

The price of a school meal is £2.81 per day or £14.05 weekly and parents can pay for lunches via Parentpay.
