We are fortunate to have fresh meals cooked on the premises each day provided by Herts Catering Ltd.  There is a choice of two hot meals, jacket potato with fillings or a cold lunch along with a salad bar. School meals run on a 3 week menu cycle. The emphasis is on healthy eating. Our cook is able to cater for special dietary needs, once you have completed the online Dietry Needs Form (see below).  Lunch times are well supervised by our MSA team. Children may bring a packed lunch from home. (Cans, glass bottles, fizzy drinks and sweets are not allowed) , please encourage your child to include healthy food in their lunch box.

Free School Meals

If, due to benefits you receive, you are entitled to Free School Meals; you will still need to register for them. This is because registering also gives you access to other benefits, please contact the school office for further information or visit www.hertsdirect.org/freeschoolmeals
