SCHOOL MEALS

All meals are cooked on the premises by NEWydd catering services and children have varied daily choices of hot and cold meals. Menus are widely displayed in school and on the school website. Welsh Assembly Government’s Appetite for Life guidance is adhered to in all aspects of nutrition within school. If your child has specific medical dietary requirements, we will arrange for you to meet our school cook to discuss details.

Universal Free School Meals

Universal Free School Meals are currently available for learners in Reception – Year 6.

Packed lunches

Some parents prefer their children to bring a packed lunch rather than having a school meal.  An insulated sandwich box is recommended and we would ask that the lunch is easily accessible for your child – minimal packaging and items they can easily open.

We would ask, however, that you do not allow your child to bring hot foods, drinks or soup, to prevent accidents resulting from contact with hot food and liquids. All drinks should be in plastic bottles. Please do not allow your child nuts or food containing nuts due to allergies other children may have. Please also ensure all lunchboxes and drink bottles are labelled with your child’s name and class.

SNACK

Pupils may bring a healthy snack to eat at morning playtime. Please support us by providing fruit or vegetables for snack in line with our Healthy school ethos. Learners in Nursery to Year 2 are also provided with milk during the day which is funded by both the Local Authority and Sealand Community Council.
