Lunchtime and School Menus
Pricing
Pupil Meals - £3.25 per day / £16.25 per week
We ask that payments for meals are made weekly for the meals taken by children. We encourage this to be paid through ParentPay, in our efforts to become a cashless school.
We use the ParentPay Meal Manager selection system. This allows parents/carers to pre-order their child's lunch option at home using ParentPay, with a view of the full menu options available each day. Please do not worry if your child forgets to order, is unable to get online to order, or wishes to change their option on the day, as they are able to do so in class during registration.
Should your child have outstanding dinner debt or not enough funds for the meal being ordered on your child's ParentPay account, you/your child will be unable to order a school dinner until this is fully cleared and funds to pay for the dinner are added. Due to this, we advise lunch accounts are topped up on a Sunday evening in advance of the week ahead, to avoid any issues on Monday morning.

As a Derbyshire County Council school, our pupil meals are provided by their catering service. Below are links to their main page and this terms menu.
Magic Breakfast
We have teamed with the ‘Magic Breakfast’ Project to enable us to offer a free breakfast for ALL children every day.
Research shows that a healthy breakfast improves children’s ability to learn and engage in all aspects of school life.
We offer many breakfast such as:
Kellogg’s Cereals
New York Bagels
Warburtons Crumpets
Heinz Beans
Toast
We also offer milk to accompany the cereal and butter or jam to go with the toasted items.
Over the coming weeks, we are introducing instant porridge as an alternative option.
Please see the Magic Breakfast website for more details - https://www.magicbreakfast.com/
