Reasons we think our school lunches are great:

Our school lunches offer a varied selection of freshly cooked, seasonal produce that meet the nutritional standards set by the government.
Lunch time is also a time for us to develop our social skills and try new foods and share this experience with our friends
Our school lunches are always packed full of fruit and vegetables. Our Kitchen has such high expectations - our school lunches provide more than one portion of fruit and one portion of vegetables every day for each child, helping them to reach their '5 a day'.
The Kitchen prepares menus that cater for all of us. Any child who has particular requirements is catered for - including those who are vegetarian or who have a special diet. If pupils have allergies or intolerances to certain foods, Farid makes sure that their lunch time experience is the same as every other child.
Our school meals are very good value.
Our school meals are convenient for our parents; they don't have to make packed lunches which saves parents time!
