School Meals & Breakfast Club

Our school meals are provided by Taylor Shaw and costs £2.30 per day, which is payable in advance via ParentPay.  

The menu runs on a 3 week rota and offers a variety of choice throughout the week, including daily vegetarian options, jacket potatoes and sandwiches. A selection of breads, salads and drinking water are available daily.  Yogurt and fruit is available everyday as an alternative to desert.

We also run one-off special menu days and share these with you in advance in our weekly newsletters.

The school council also contribute to the menu by selecting a 'Children's Choice' menu every half term. We have had a whole range of menus provided this way, from hot dogs and burgers to a red-themed lunch for Valentine's day!

80% of the dishes are prepared using fresh, unprocessed ingredients.  Please take a look and encourage your children to try some of the new dishes if they haven’t tried them before. Taylor Shaw can create a bespoke menu if your child has any specialist dietary requirements.  Contact them on 0114 273 4767 for advice or the school office.
