School Meals

School Meals

We are fortunate because all school meals are freshly cooked in school, using local suppliers where possible and following healthy living guidelines.  A high percentage of pupils regularly have school meals.  Children are welcome to choose either a school meal or bring sandwiches on a daily basis.

• Menu 2018-2019
• Christmas lunch menu 2018

Children are able to choose whether they are having a school dinner, something from the deli bar or a packed lunch each morning. Drink cartons are available for 35p. ( Please note Free school meal entitlement does not cover the additional cost of a drink.)  Meals should be paid for in advance using the school money system.  All parents should have received a text and email with logon details.  Please contact the office if you have any problems with the system. If you do not have access to the internet we can provide a paypoint barcode enabling cash payments at local stores who have a paypoint facility.

Fruit Break

We are a healthy eating school committed to encouraging our pupils to adopt a healthy lifestyle.  As part of this we encourage pupils to bring in fruit and offer a short break for them to eat this each morning.

Drinks

Children have access to water throughout the day and we encourage them to drink regularly.  Other drinks are only allowed with Lunch, as to drink them frequently can cause tooth decay.

Allergens

From 13^th  December 2014, the EU Food Information for Consumers Regulations came into force. These European Rules will be enforced in the UK by the Food Information regulations 2014.

The EU lists 14 allergens that need to be identified if they are used as ingredients in a dish. This means that food business will now need to provide information about allergenic ingredients used in foods sold or provided by them.

All Cooks and Catering Managers have been trained in recent meetings about these changes and have been provided with an allergen manual to keep in the kitchen. Signage has also been provided to each kitchen for display at the service point requesting that anyone with an allergy or intolerance speaks to our staff before ordering.

Shropshire and Walsall  Primary Schools

Please follow the link below to the Shire Services website which details the 4 week allergen matrix for primary schools. This matrix lists all primary dishes and identifies which dishes have any of the 14 allergens as ingredients.   We strongly recommend that any parents of pupils with allergies or intolerances still contact the school cook to arrange a meeting to discuss their specific requirements.
