School Meals
School meals cost £2.40 per day (£12.00 per week). They are freshly prepared each day in our school kitchen. We have an individual menu designed in consultation with pupils, parents, Kirklees Catering Team and school staff. It is very important for all children to eat a healthy, balanced diet. Research has shown that a child's concentration levels are much greater if they have eaten a healthy, balanced meal at lunchtime. Halal meat and vegetarian options are always available on the menu.
Children choose their meal at morning registration using the School Meal Selector system. Their choice is sent directly to the kitchen. This ensures they get their chosen meal each day.
If your child is on a special diet for medical reasons, special arrangements are made. Any food allergies should be reported to the school office.
Your choice of lunchtime arrangements must be followed for the full half term. Preference forms are available at the office in the last week of each half term, if you wish to change your choice.

Paying for school meals
We offer 2 ways to pay, online using the ParentPay secure website or via paypoint at many local shops.
The school office can help you set up a secure online account with Parentpay that can be accessed via smartphones and tablets as well as laptops and desktop computers. We can also order you a payment card for you to use at paypoint retailers if you wish.
It is important that school meals are paid promptly in order for the catering service to be run efficiently and effectively.
Payment should be made weekly on a Monday.
