Lunchtime
We believe that the school lunchtime is a great opportunity for all our children to sit down together and enjoy their healthy and tasty meal, while developing their social skills. We therefore hope that all parents will take up this offer of a free school meal for their infant children. We do understand that some children will want to bring their own packed lunch.
Our school lunches are provided by HC3S.
At HC3S, we believe your child should have healthy, flavoursome food, so that’s exactly what we provide. You don’t have to worry about the calories either: our lunches are always set up to provide one third of your child’s daily allowance. HC3S work with the children in school to learn about healthy eating.

Lunchtime Superheroes
All week the lunchtime supervisors watch the children that are in their care, and on Friday nominate a child that has shown respectful behaviour like our Superhero Respectful Rubin. The child is awarded a Lunchtime Superhero certificate and their name is added on the newsletter.
Lunch time is a key time in the school day where we support children in socialising over their lunch. We then provide a wide range of play activities including football and dance. We believe a happy active lunch time supports the children in their personal and social development.
Healthy Packed Lunches
It is important that children are eating a healthy, balanced lunch at school. This means plenty of foods that contain the nutrients that children need, and fewer foods that are high in sugar and saturated fat.
Packed lunches that are brought to school must be healthy and balanced and should NOT contain sweets or any form of chocolate spread.

Due to allergies we ask that NO nut products are brought into school.
All children should bring a water bottle each day to school containing water only.
