Our School Dinners are made on site by our own LiFE MAT catering staff who are able to design and adapt the menu to meet the needs and preferences of our children. Most of our food is sourced locally and we use fresh, quality produce to ensure that children receive a good, healthy meal whilst they are at school.

Latest School Menu
The menu operates on a 3 week rota to ensure variety, with any updates to the menu being made here. Due to availability, some menu options may need to temporarily change. Where this is the case, we will endeavour to notify parents in advance when this is necessary.
Value For Money
LiFE MAT Catering are not an external company aiming to maximise profit. Consequently, food quality is prioritised and prices will reflect government guidelines and local costs, with an emphasis on affordable quality. Universal free school meals for EYFS/Y1/Y2 children, and Free School Meals (FSM – Low income threshold) both apply as usual.
Catering for Dietary Needs and Allergies
We aim to meet the dietary needs of all children by providing a range of options on the school menu. Vegetarian options are offered daily. For more specific dietary needs such as nut allergies or dairy/gluten free, parents need to complete a MEDICAL DIET REQUEST FORM. These can be downloaded below and handed into the school office, or you can speak with the office or catering staff directly for further advice. Without completing a form, the catering team will be unable to provide an adapted menu. The potential gluten free options available to children whose parents have completed a medical diet request form, are shown on the school dinner menu below.
