Our Approach
Packed lunches are not allowed at our school.
Lunchtime is a key part of our school day. We eat lunch ‘family dining’ style, during which children learn to serve themselves and each other (as opposed to having to queue at a counter to collect their food). We all sit down as a school and eat together; adults support children at this time and can also eat the school lunch with the children to encourage and model good conversations. We serve each other food and help tidy away together. We value this time and see it as a key learning opportunity.
We aim to be a very healthy school and see eating as a way to reinforce our values and commitment to a high-quality education. We have devoted significant additional resources to our catering and lunch service (beyond what the government allocates to us) in order to provide quality school meals for our children.
Children can be collected to have lunch at home.
