School Meals
School meals are cooked from fresh ingredients in our kitchen each day by Miss Shaw and her team of catering assistants. They are priced at £3.00 per meal and are subject to potential in-year price increases.
The school’s catering service has been awarded the prestigious Catering Mark in recognition of the fresh and healthy meals served. This is based upon its use of:
- local food and suppliers including yoghurts from Longridge; free range eggs from Leyland, and beef, poultry, and seasonal fresh vegetables from across Lancashire.
- organic rice, pasta, flour, and milk
- unprocessed, fresh ingredients in over 80% of meals and no use of undesirable food additives like Tran’s fats
- U.K farm assurance standards
- no genetically modified ingredients
- fish served from the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) “fish to avoid” list.
It is our policy to provide a service for those pupils with medically diagnosed food allergies, food intolerances, medical conditions or dietary laws which affect eating requirements.
All menus are prepared to comply with the standards for school food and all new dishes are tested by children. There is always fresh fruit and salad, homemade bread, and locally produced yoghurt available daily.
Arranging a school meal
Opting for a school meal for your child usually means having a school meal each day of the week. For those who prefer to have a packed lunch brought from home, there is the option of having a school meal on a Wednesday only, aFriday only or a Wednesday and Friday only. On these days there are options for children’s most favourite foods such as roast dinner (Wednesday) pizza, fish fingers, chips, cookies, or ice-cream (Friday).
Please use this on-line form to register for a school meal for the academic year 2026 - 2027. Alternatively, call the school office. Please do not make these arrangements through your child’s class teacher.
