School Meals

Our school meals are provided by Mellors, who cook daily in our own school kitchen providing a wide variety of healthy choices every day.

Our school meals follow a healthy-eating policy. Their ingredients include only:

• fresh meat and poultry sourced from the region
• fruit and vegetables sourced regionally where possible using local suppliers
• products free from additives associated with health problems in young children
• fats free from hydrogenated oils; with
• menus that are nutritionally balanced

In our school, our meals run in a 3-week menu cycle, allowing children to become familiar with the food served. They are changed every term to reflect the seasons and are written in consultation with pupils and cooks.

Children in Reception, Years 1 and 2 are entitled to a free school meal. For Nursery, Years 3,4,5 and 6 pupils the price is £2.45 per day. If you think your child may be eligible for free school meals, you can get more information at https://www.northyorks.gov.uk/free-school-meals.
