School lunches are an important contribution to our social and pastoral education. Pupils sit and eat a nutritious two-course lunch with their class teachers; this ‘family’ setting enables us to discuss table manners and monitor closely what children are eating and encourage them to try new flavours.
Each day there is a choice of two hot meals, one of which is vegetarian or vegan. These are prepared daily from fresh ingredients and cooked on the premises. Sandwiches may be prepared for pupils on specific days, with parental permission, to ensure that there is always something to appeal to pupils.
The menu is reviewed each half term to allow for seasonal changes, remove less popular choices, and add variety. In rare cases and in discussion with the Head of Prep, a pupil is permitted to bring a packed lunch in circumstances where the school cannot meet their specific dietary needs. Lunches are included in the school fees and there is no fee remission if a pupil brings their own lunch. Milk or fruit juice is provided to each pupil during each morning session.
All chicken served at school is halal. All red meat is non-halal. Children bring their own healthy snacks for break time. They are provided with milk or fruit juice during the day.
The school is a nut-free environment – please ensure any food brought from home does not contain nuts or sesame.
A selection of hot and cold foods, prepared daily from fresh ingredients and cooked on the premises, may be purchased at lunchtime.
