Children have the choice of a school meal cooked on-site by staff appointed by Whole School Meals, or they may bring a packed lunch from home. The lunch should be in a clearly labelled box please. No glass containers should be brought to school. The cook provides healthy, well-balanced meals – please see the link below for the most up-to-date dinner menu.

Dinner money

The Office Staff will deal with all dinner money. To help with the administration and accounting of all dinner money we would appreciate it if the following points are noted:

• Dinner money to be brought to school on the first day of any school week, on a Monday - occasionally after a holiday it should be brought in on the first day back in school.
• The current charge is £2.50 per child, per day. Payment Methods: by either cash (sent into school with child’s name, class and amount enclosed on the envelope), or cheques (made payable to Kent County Council).
• Families in receipt of certain benefit payments, may be eligible for free school meals. Please see the following link for more information- https://www.gov.uk/apply-free-school-meals/kent

Water in School

Children are able to drink water throughout the day. Please ensure your child's bottle is named. No squash, flavoured water or juice, unless it is part of your child’s packed lunch. The children are then able to drink regularly and avoid dehydration. Children are able to top up their bottles during the day. Drinking water regularly has been shown to have marked benefits on a child’s ability to concentrate and learn. No glass bottles.
