School Meals
At lunchtime, children can have either a meal provided by our kitchen staff or bring a packed lunch from home. Unless your child is in receipt of free school meals, you need to pay for their school dinners. A hot meal costs £3.20 and needs to be ordered and paid for in advance through Arbor.
You can find the Food to Flourish - Hampshire County Council Education Catering school lunch menus via this link. We recommend choosing lunch options with your child so they know what they will be having for lunch, you can then order your child's lunch choice via the Arbor app.
Please be aware that orders must be placed via Arbor the day before at the latest.

Healthy Packed Lunches
It is important that children are eating a healthy, balanced lunch at school. This means plenty of foods that contain the nutrients that children need, fewer foods that are high in sugar and saturated fat.
Packed lunches that are brought to school must be healthy and balanced and should not contain sweets or any form of chocolate spread.
For lunch ideas, please find some links to sites that offer ideas and advice.
Nut Free School
We are a nut-free school. Children who suffer from nut allergies can develop a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction.
If someone has a nut allergy, it is not just eating nuts that can cause a severe reaction; just being touched on the skin or smelling the breath of someone who has had nuts or a product containing nuts can trigger anaphylactic shock (which can cause breathing and swallowing difficulties).
Please can we ask that you have no nut products in your child's lunch box or brought into school as treats.
We appreciate that this is an additional thing to check, and we know that you recognise the importance of it.
