Meals & Snacks
Mid-Morning Break
Infant School
We participate in the government free school fruit and vegetable scheme and all children in school receive either a piece of fruit or a vegetable each day. In the Early Years foundation stage (Nursery and Reception) this is supplemented with additional food and drink, which has often been cooked by the children themselves. NO NUTS are allowed in school. Children should bring a named water filled bottle to school with them every day.
Junior School
Key Stage 2 children may bring in a healthy snack to eat at morning break. This should be either fruit, dried fruit, vegetables or cheese. NO NUTS are allowed in school. Children should bring a named water filled bottle to school with them every day.
Lunches
From April 2026 our lunch provider is Dolce. They will provide a hot or packed lunch each day free of charge for all children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 under the government’s Universal Infant Free School Meal scheme. All parents need to do is select from a menu that is changed on a regular basis.
The same meal choices are also available to children in Years 3-6 at a cost of £2.55 per day.
Please visit www.dolce.co.uk to order school meals. Menus are available to order up until 8.30am on the same day.
Alternatively, you can provide your child with a packed lunch from home.
Due to allergies, we are a nut free school so please do not send in nut products or products that may contain traces on nuts.
Children in receipt of Pupil Premium are entitled to free meal throughout all years; the school office can provide further information on how to apply or a form can be completed online at North Northamptonshire Council’s website. We strongly encourage you to investigate whether your child is eligible as the school’s funding depends partly on this figure. You can also speak directly to the school office staff if you need help accessing the service. Once registered, you will be given an allocated allowance which can be used to purchase uniform and pay for school clubs and trips.
Lunchtime Care
Over the lunchtime period the children are in the care of the Teaching Assistants. They are responsible for the safety and well-being of all the children both in the dining area and outside in the playground. If, during lunchtime, your child is regularly unable to conform to the expected standards of behaviour and is considered to be posing a risk to the safety and well-being of the other children, you may be contacted and asked to make alternative arrangements for supervision at lunchtime as per our behaviour policy.
