Lunch Menu

We believe lunch times are an important part of a child’s education.
It is a time to develop their social skills through eating and playing together.

Download our lunchtime menu:

As a school we will:

  • Provide food which promotes healthy eating.
  • Provide hot and cold food prepared in our own kitchens to a menu directed by the East Riding Council.
  • Provide free school meals to all Foundation and KS1 pupils.
  • Provide advice and support for those who may be entitled to free school meals in KS2.

As parents/carers it is expected:

  • You provide payment for meals in a named envelope at the beginning of each week. The menu is sent home in advance and choices should be selected and accompany payment. Currently school meals cost £2.45 per day;
  • If providing your child with a packed lunch please use a named lunch box and include fruit and vegetables to support our Healthy Eating Status . Only one biscuit based chocolate item is allowed. Any other sweets and chocolates will be sent home. Fizzy drinks are prohibited;
  • Recycling is encouraged and to keep the waste to a minimum children are asked to take their rubbish home for disposal.

Break Time:

There is a fifteen minute break incorporated into the morning session.

In Foundation unit the children are provided with a drink of water, juice or milk and a piece of fruit at morning break.

In Key Stage 1 the children are provided with a piece of fruit at the morning session.

In Key Stage 2 the children are able to purchase a drink, roll or bagel and fruit from the school kitchen tuck shop.
