Lunchtimes
WE ARE MOVING TO SCHOOL GRID ON MONDAY 14TH OCTOBER! SIGN UP TO ORDER YOUR CHILD'S MEALS IN ADVANCE!
We are excited to be moving to a new system for lunch times, provided through Leeds City Council. School Grid will mean you can order meals in advance for your child, know what they will be having for lunch every day, pay for meals and book meals in if your child will be late due to medical appointments as an example.
Children will be able to choose in class as normal if you don't pre-order, but it makes it much easier if you do choose the meals in advance!
For the children, their lunch experience will improve, no more coloured dinner band system, and smoother service in the dining room! They just need to press their name when they arrive at the kitchen and their order will be displayed to the catering staff.
Reminder - you must advise the office of changes between packed lunch and school dinners giving at least a weeks notice for changes!
Here is a link to YouTube for some helpful information! Parent Information - SchoolGrid (youtube.com)
School Dinner Menus
Here are our menus for autumn 2024. We follow a three week cycle (dates in the top left corner) There are also special menus throughout the year too! If your child needs a medical diet adjustment, please contact the school office.
Packed Lunches
Please send packed lunches in a named rigid container (not a plastic bag), preferably one your child will recognise easily.
Please do NOT send the following into school:
- Fizzy drinks
- Anything in glass containers
- Flasks of hot food
- Foods containing nuts
Further guidance on packing a healthy lunch can be found here.
School Dinner Arrangements
Children are able to concentrate and learn better when they have eaten a healthy, balanced lunch – school meals can be the simple solution. A choice of hot school meals is served every day and sandwiches are also an option on the menu. Children choose their lunches when they arrive in the classroom each day.
In years 3-6, dinners are chargeable. The charge for children in years 3-6 is £2.50 per meal (£12.50 per week). This is payable in cash or on the WEDUC app each Monday in advance. Please hand your dinner money into the school office and send with your child in a sealed named envelope.
Free school meals - please see the sheet on Pupil Premium to see if you may be eligible for free school meals. If your child is already eligible for free school meals, please tell us this in the box below. The school office will check this immediately and let you know if the entitlement still stands.
