We provide healthy, hot lunches, cooked on the premises that are available to order, or a packed lunch may be brought in from home.

Going Home For Lunch

• Please contact the school office beforehand if you intend to take your child home for lunch.
• If children go home for lunch, they should not return to school earlier than ten minutes before the afternoon session begins.
• Please use our signing in/out book in the office when you collect/return your child.

Bringing In A Packed Lunch

If your child brings in a packed lunch from home, we ask that you make healthy choices. Packed lunch guidance can be found in the document below and online at https://www.nhs.uk/healthier-families/recipes/healthier-lunchboxes/.

• Food should be in a plastic box or a small cool bag and clearly marked with your child's name. 
• Lunch boxes should not include sweets and chocolates. We also strongly recommend avoiding crisps and other ultra-processed foods such as sausage rolls and packaged cakes.
• Drinks other than water or sugar-free squash are not permitted. Cans or glass bottles are not permitted in school for safety reasons.
• Please remember that nuts are not permitted on school premises under any circumstances, due to allergies.

Hot Lunches Cooked In School

Hot lunches are cooked fresh each day in the school kitchen. There is a choice of main, vegetarian or jacket potato with filling. Meals also include seasonal vegetables and a pudding. We are also able to provide packed lunches. Your child's meal should ordered online - please see below for details. 

Please notify the school in writing if your child has allergies to certain foods or additives.

Free School Meals

Universal Free School Meals - EYFS & Key Stage 1

All pupils currently in EYFS, Year 1 and Year 2 are able to receive a school meal at no cost to parent/carers. Choosing a universal free school meal will help save you up to £450 per year, encourage positive eating habits and helps to improve concentration and performance in the classroom. A school lunch will also provide a varied and balanced diet and provide the right amount of energy to ensure that your child can work better in the afternoons.

Applications should be made online at https://lcc.cloud.servelec-synergy.com/parentportal 

If you are eligible, we will be notified. Your child will receive free school meals and the school will receive a Pupil Premium - extra funding to support your child's education. Children in receipt of free school meals also qualify for a reduction in costs for educational visits and other chargeable events, so it is always worth enquiring.

If you are not eligible at this time and to avoid requesting this information again, Lincolnshire County Council will store your data securely and it will be checked for eligibility should your circumstances change.

If you are experiencing any difficulties please call in to the school office and we will try to help you.
