Lunchtime is a very important part of the whole school day, but it isn't just about the food they eat. Children also learn to behave in a dining area, interact with their friends and try foods they might not have at home.

 

Derbyshire County Council caterers cook school dinners daily in our school kitchens using fresh, local produce to provide a healthy and delicious range of dishes.

Healthy Snacks

If children wish to have a break-time snack, they are required to bring in something from home. Healthy snacks include FruitVegetables, Dried fruits, Cereal bars (no nuts), and Crackers. Please do not send your child with crisps, chocolate bars or sweets.

Please find below information regarding allergen and medical diet procedures. These procedures are essential to ensure the needs of each individual pupil can be safely met.

Free School Meals

Parents claiming some benefits can claim free school meals for their children who are registered at a Staffordshire school and who would normally be at school at lunchtime. Even if you don't want your children to have the meals, claiming them helps their school.
