We wrote to you in February to inform you about an exciting update to our school meal service that will be implemented after the Easter holidays.

Over the Easter holiday, you will be required to pre-order your child's lunchtime meal via ParentPay, ready for when they return to school on Monday 28th April 2025. 

This means that you can choose exactly what you want your child to have for lunch, or you can choose it alongside them from home! This will allow your child to have a more personalised dining experience and ensure that you know what they are eating at lunchtime.

For further details and to find out what you need to know, visit our school meals page here.
