School Lunches

School lunch, or a healthy packed lunch, is critical to children's health and well-being,ensuring that children have the nutrition they need throughout the day to learn. Children in EYFS and Keystage 1 have milk or water available to them to have with their lunches. The children in Keystage 2 are offered water with their lunches. For children in nursery and Keystage 2 the cost for a school dinner is currently £2.80 a day, in-line with the recommended price supplied by the Local Authority. Children in Keystage 1 are part of the Governments 'Universal Free School Meals' initiative. For more information relating to the Universal Free School Meals please visit the link here.

Lunches are ordered on a daily basis and the children have a choice of the hot school meal option or they can opt to have a sandwich or a jacket potato, their choice is given to the teacher each morning.

Lunches should be paid for, in advance, on the school ParentPay system.

Children are of course welcome to bring their own packed lunch and drinks from home.

Please note we have children in school with a severe nut allergy, therefore we request that your child does not bring peanuts, peanut butter, hazlenut chocolate spread or other snacks containing peanuts into school. Thank you. 

We remind parents that we promote healthy eating at Newbald Primary School and request that chocolate bars and sweets are not brought into school for lunches and that children should only be bringing water into school to drink - no juice or fizzy drinks please.

Morning Snacks

Children in EYFS and Keystage 1 have fresh fruit and milk available during the morning break time and they are encouraged to eat and drink during this time. However, children in Keystage 2 do not have fresh fruit or milk provided for them.  As learning is a strenuous activity for children we allow the children in Keystage 2 to bring their own fruit in for a morning snack, asking that this is kept in their school bag, seperate from their packed lunch.
