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.

Parent/Carer Lunches

Throughout the year, we offer Parents and Carers the opportunity to come into school and have lunch with their child/children. Please see the planned dates below for the current academic year.
