Catering Offer

From March 2026, we will be implementing some changes Trust-wide. These changes have been carefully developed to ensure we can continue to provide nutritious, good quality meals for pupils while responding to rising food and staffing costs.

At the heart of this work is our commitment to:

  • Ensuring every child is fed
  • Providing appetising, nutritious and balanced meals
  • Offering value for money while meeting the needs of our school communities
  • Supporting our catering teams
  • Delivering a sustainable service for the future

Menu Prices

  • Toast/Crumpet/Bagel: 30p
  • Fruit: Free of charge
  • Hot main meal / Grab & Go: £2.80
  • Cold baguette / sandwich: £2.50
  • Dessert: £0.80
  • Bottled drink: £0.80

A meal deal will also be available for £3.10, which includes a hot main meal or Grab & Go plus either a dessert or a drink.

  • FSM allowance will increase to £3.10 (from £2.60 to cover a 2-course lunch)
  • A break time snack and flavoured water will be an additional charge (free fruit will still be available)
  • FSM can be used flexibly at break or lunch to purchase any items or combinations
  • Pupils eligible for FSM may also top up their account if they wish to purchase additional items

Whilst we are committed to ensuring all pupils receive a meal, no pupil will be permitted to go into a negative balance.
