OWING TO SEVERE NUT ALLERGIES IN SCHOOL, WE DO NOT ALLOW NUTS
OR NUT PRODUCTS OF ANY KIND TO BE BROUGHT INTO SCHOOL.
Here are the menus from our new caterers, Harrison Catering Services, which will run from week commencing 17th April 2023 until the end of the Summer Term. We start with the menus from Week Three and the baguette choices (on Wednesdays and Fridays) are for Years 5 and 6 only. Jacket potatoes are available on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Meals are currently free for pupils in Reception and Years 1 and 2. For KS2 pupils the cost of the meal from September 2022 will be £2.40.
School Meals
At Southborough Primary School, we believe that the best option for children at lunchtime is to have the hot school dinner, provided through our partnership with Chartwells. We expect that parents of children in Reception and Key Stage 1 will take up the option of the Universal Infant Free School Meal (UIFSM). This is because we believe that the hot school dinner option is much better for the children’s learning and health. We recognise the evidence that states:
•Children are better prepared for learning if they eat well
•Children make more progress if they have eaten the right nutritional lunch
•Only 1% of packed lunches provide the correct nutrition
•Eating hot dinners is an important social occasion and the children learn vital social skills.
Chartwells meals provide all the nutrients that children require through the week. They produce a menu which has a three-weekly cycle and is available for parents to view. See above.
Cost and Payment
If your child is in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 then he or she is eligible for Universal Infant Free School Meals (UIFSM). In Year 3 and above, school meals cost £2.40 per day (£12 a week).
Payment can be made online via ParentPay.com (see link below). ParentPay can also be used to pay for trips.
