Healthy School Meals
Our school meals are provided by North Yorkshire County Caterers. The menus are carefully planned to be, not only nourishing and well-balanced, but attractive to the children as well. They are cooked on the premises and represent good value for money.
School dinner costs
Nursery - £2.70 per day
Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 - Free (Government funded)
KS2 - £3.30 per day
Dinner money should be paid online using ParentPay.
Your options at lunch time
We do feel that lunchtimes are social occasions and would encourage you to allow your child to participate fully in school meals where table manners and a sharing of conversation and simple tasks become a pleasant routine.
Children may bring a packed lunch if they wish. We have children in school who experience a severe reaction to nuts and eggs. Please ensure that your child does not bring anything containing nuts or eggs into school, for instance peanut butter or egg sandwiches, bars containing nuts.
Each morning the class teacher takes note of who has got a packed lunch or school dinner that day. There is no need to pre-order any meals for your child. They choose on the day between either the pre-planned meal or the alternative of jacket potato or a sandwich.

Milk
All children in Nursery and Reception (under 5) are offered 1/3 pint of milk each day. This is paid for by the Department of Health's Nursery Milk Scheme and provided to us through Cool Milk.
Once your child turns 5 you have the option of paying for a portion of milk each day for your child (while they are still in Reception). You can register for this by following the instructions at https://www.coolmilk.com/
