School Meals

News
From 1st April 2024, our school catering will be provided by Mellors, rather than by the Local Authority. Please see the Mellors section of this page for the menus they will be providing after Easter and information about the food they provide.
SCHOOL MEALS
 
In the Autumn term all children will be able to access a hot school meal. If your child is in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 they are entitled to a free meal under the Universal Free School Meal offer but you will need to register on Joinos at North Tyneside Council.
 
If your child is in Year 3 and 4 they can  also register via Joinos to pay for a school meal.
 
This term our school kitchen will be open providing a hot menu with one choice plus a vegetarian menu.
We operate a 3 week rotational menu in all our schools.

Following a school term holiday we always restart on week 1.

All children in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 are eligible for Universal Infant Free School Meals, but you must complete an application form to register on joinos -  available on the north tyneside council website. If you do not complete a free meal application form you will have to pay for meals from Year 3.

North Tyneside Council’s Catering Services provide our school meals. They aim to provide healthy, well-balanced menus that pupils will enjoy.

All meals are freshly prepared in school each morning and meet the rigorous school food guidelines set out by the Government.

Your child can enjoy:
  • a choice of freshly cooked main courses
  • fresh salad or vegetables
  • bread
  • a tasty pudding
Our school meals are designed to give your child exactly the right kind of foods to keep them going until teatime, including lots of energy-giving carbohydrates and at least two of their five a day fruit and vegetables.

If your child doesn't already stay for a school meal, why not introduce them? You might be surprised.
