School Dinners

School Meals – Provided by Apetito from April 2025

We are excited to announce that from April 2025, our school meals will be provided by Apetito, a trusted provider of nutritionally balanced meals. Apetito understands the importance of healthy, nourishing food to support your child’s growth and development.

"We believe it’s important that children develop their taste palate whilst at school, which is why we create new meals with exciting flavour combinations to encourage everyone to try something new."
Emily Stuart, Apetito Dietitian

Meals are pre-ordered by parents each half-term via the Apetito's Parent Portal, School Grid allowing families to tailor meals to accommodate dietary needs.

All our recipes are crafted by Head Chef Phil in Apetito’s Wiltshire kitchen and are developed in collaboration with in-house Dietitian Emily Stuart to ensure they meet government nutritional guidelines.

All children have access to school dinners; infants are entitled to free school meals, and meals for the junior children currently cost £3.30 per day (may be subject to future change). 

You may be entitled to free school meals for your Junior children. Parents and Guardians are now able to check their eligibility and apply for Free School Meals instantly via a Parent Portal.

Children can choose to bring a packed lunch if they prefer. These are to be brought into school each day and will be stored in the classroom; it is therefore requested that they contain an ice pack. Children can opt for cooked school lunches on some days of the week and food brought in from home on other days.  We request that you give us at least 2 weeks notice, if your child wishes to change to, or from schools meals.

If your child required a medical diet due to allergies, please visit:
