Meals at Birchington CE Primary School

SCHOOL MEALS AT BIRCHINGTON CE PRIMARY SCHOOL

Although some children prefer to bring a packed lunch to school, we can also provide a well balanced hot meal for your child every day.

LUNCHTIME

Our pupils really enjoy their school lunch! A well balanced and mixed menu is provided and unlike many schools our dinners are prepared in our own Kitchen, fresh on the day. We also provide a packed lunch option consisting of a filled baguette, yogurt pot, a slice of cake, a piece of fruit and a drink.

While our aim is to ensure that our pupils receive a well balanced diet we also appreciate that children occasionally deserve a treat - so more obvious children’s choices are still available from time to time!

The school operates a 3 week rotating menu system to provide plenty

of variety; please see below for an example of a typical menu.

If you would like your child to have a school dinner or a packed lunch the current cost per day

is £2.05 or £10.25 per week (price as from September 2011)

Money should be paid for the full week on Monday mornings.

If you think you may be entitled to free meals, please contact the school office for a form.
