Meals, snacks and milk

 

Lunch menu

School menus are carefully compiled and feature many local items, reinforcing our commitment to support East Anglian producers.  A very high proportion of our dishes are traditionally prepared within the school kitchen, allowing EATS catering to carefully control each recipe and its ingredients.  The small proportion of meat items not prepared in our kitchen are also made using meat carrying the Assured Food Standards (Red Tractor) accreditation. These items include sausages, burgers, meatballs and chicken burgers which are prepared using pork, beef and chicken which is either local or accredited from within the UK. Please be aware that vegetarian options are available on a daily basis.

Healthy Snacks

 

All children in Early Years and Key Stage 1 receive a free portion of fruit or vegetables on a daily basis. This is given out at breaktime as a snack.

All children in the school should have a healthy snack at break time. The school does not allow sweets, chocolate bars or packs of crisps at snack time

 

Free Milk for Under Fives

Free school milk is available to all children under the age of five and those eligible for Free School Meals.  The children are given a 189ml portion of low fat milk. Parents are able to opt in to this scheme when their children start in Sunbeams class.  Once children reach the age of 5, parents are able to continue with the milk scheme by paying approximately £18 per term.
