School Lunches
Children can have a school meal or bring a packed lunch of their own
School Meals
We provide nutritious and healthy school meals which are cooked onsite and have a range of options each day including jacket potatoes, a hot meal choice and pasta dish. You can order these via our easy to use ParentPay app. If you would like to check your availability for free school meals please visit Norfolk County Council here or ask at the school office for a form.
Our school meals are cooked at our partner school, Duchy of Lancaster Primary School, and they provide a well-balanced, wholesome and good value meal. The price of a school lunch is currently £2.41 per day. Please order and pay for your child's lunch using the ParentPay app.
We encourage children to try out different meals and to help with this we have included a copy of the 3 week rolling menu below so that you can share this with your child as you make your lunch choices together.
