School Dining

We are proud to work with Chartwells for your children’s school dinners.

Chartwells believe that the key to fuelling young minds comes from understanding both what they need and what they enjoy, which is why they develop nutritious and delicious food that pupils love, alongside helping to ensure a healthy body and mind. Their passionate culinary experts work closely with us to ensure every child receives healthy food, perfectly suited to meet their needs and dietary requirements.

The current meal price is £2.95.

Parents and pupils lead busy lives. So parents can use the Arbor Parent App to order and pay for meals online.

This is conveniently the same platform that parents use to book clubs and trips and buy school ties on. Pre-booking meals this way ensures our pupils get to eat their choice of lunch every single day. For schools, it reduces admin, improves kitchen efficiency, cuts the need for cash on site and reduces food waste.

If you need assistance ordering your child’s school meals, please contact our school office and they will be happy to help.

Allergens

For children with food intolerances and allergies, Chartwells have a dedicated team of medical diet nutritionists on hand to support allergen aware children and their parents. More information on their medical diet process can be found here: The Chartwells Approach to Medical Diets | Chartwells.

Pupil Entitlement To Free School Meals

The universal Infant Free School Meals scheme means all children attending Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a free school meal every day.

If you are a parent, foster parent, network family carer of guardian of children at school, and you are on a low income, your child may be entitled to free school meals – no matter what year they are in, which could save you £420 per year per child – it’s easy to check entitlement by going to your local authority website or reaching out to us directly.
