Lunch<\/h2>\n

Lunch is served each day in three sessions; the Pre-Prep and Pre-School children at 12 noon and the Prep school children in two settings starting at 12.50 pm. Our school hall has modern kitchen facilities and offers\u00a0a cafeteria style service. Each table is supervised by a member of staff and we encourage our children to try a helping of everything.<\/p>\n

We take great care to provide the children with a balanced and varied diet, cooked with fresh ingredients that are responsibly sourced and, where possible, from local suppliers. The pupils\u2019 School Council canvasses pupil opinion and offer suggestions for meals and, where practicable, these are taken into account in our menu planning.<\/p>\n

We cater for special requirements where medically necessary, for religious reasons or for vegetarians and vegans. If parents have concerns about any particular food, we ask them to let us know.<\/p>\n

The lunch menus change each term and rotate on a three weekly basis. For more information and menus, please see our Menu Leaflet<\/a><\/p>\n

Drinks and snacks<\/h2>\n

All\u00a0pupils must bring their own water bottle (clearly labelled with the child\u2019s name). This remains with pupils throughout the day and can be topped up as necessary. We serve beakers of water at lunchtime.<\/p>\n

Prep School pupils are offered a sandwich or a piece of fruit or a biscuit during mid-morning and mid-afternoon breaks. Pre-Prep and Pre-School children are also offered milk and this should be ordered through the school office.<\/p>\n

All pupils are invited to bring in their own fresh or dried fruit as an alternative to biscuits. No sweets or chocolates are permitted.<\/p>\n

Please note we are an allergy-aware school and items containing common allergens such as nuts and sesame seeds are not permitted in school or on school trips.<\/p>\n

Match Teas<\/h2>\n

Home fixtures are followed by a \u2018match tea\u2019 where hearty refreshments are shared by pupils and parents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
