All children have the opportunity to have a school lunch every day. The meals are provided by Black Pepper Catering and are of a high standard, in line with healthy eating guidelines.

You will need to register at Black Pepper: www.blackpepperlunches.com/BP-register.php

You can order lunches half termly. Meals must be ordered by midnight the night before you require it (e.g. Monday’s lunch must be ordered by midnight on Sunday)

Each day there is a choice of:

• Two hot meal options (at least one vegetarian)
• Filled jacket potatoes
• Pre-prepared packed lunch option

There is always a salad bar available followed by a choice of either a dessert or yoghurt with a selection of fruit always available as an alternative. Meals currently cost £2.66.

Children may bring packed lunches if preferred and eat them with those eating hot meals. We operate a strict Nut Free Zone across the whole school, please do not send anything containing nuts in with your child/ren. All catering facilities are provided in accordance with a healthy eating policy. Children can bring in a healthy snack from home to have at breaktime.

Free school meals are available, dependent upon parent’s financial circumstances. If you think your child may be entitled to a free school meal, you will need to apply via the Worcestershire County Council website which will provide parents with the ability to make an application securely and receive an immediate answer about their eligibility. You will use the same citizens portal system (same username and password) that you used to apply for a school place for your child. The portal can be accessed using the link below: https://emsi.worcestershire.gov.uk/CitizenPortal_LIVE/en . If you are eligible, you will be issued with a code that you need to pass on to the school office, as soon as we receive this your child can begin to benefit from Free School Meals.

We believe that all children need at least one substantial meal per day. School meals are attractive, well-prepared, nutritious and varied.
