School Meals

Taylor Shaw provide our school meals and their absolute priority is to bring fresh, nutritious, good quality food that your child will enjoy while at school.  Lunch is freshly prepared and served by caring, well trained skilled people.  Each morning your child is able to choose from a healthy menu, and lunchtime is a time for your child to relax and socialise with their friends.  The current menu is available to view below.

Reception, Year 1 & Year 2 Children

In 2014 the Government introduce he universal free school meal initiative for all infant children.  This means that all children in Reception, Year 1 & Year 2 are eligible to received a free school meal.  All they have to do is order their choice of meal from the day's menu in class, and their meal will be ready for them at lunchtime.  If you think you may be eligible to received free school meals due to your personal circumstances (eg in receipt of Income Support) please apply by clicking the application link below.
