Catering Arrangements
Water
Children are encouraged to bring a bottle of water each day to
keep themselves hydrated. There are also water fountains
available in each cloakroom for the children to use.
Morning
Milk is available for your child at the start of the day. This is free
for children under five years of age. Payment for all other
children must be made at the beginning of each term through the
"cool milk" website. Children are
also provided with a free piece of fruit to eat during morning
break.
Lunch Break
The school is keen to promote healthy
eating and all school dinners are cooked according to County
guidelines for healthy meals. The terms menu is located on the
publications page. They are cooked on the premises and are currently
provided at a cost of £1.90 per day. Children may choose on a
daily basis whether to have school dinner and will be able to make
their choice of two selections of main meal or a sandwich meal in the morning. Payment is made
on line. Information about online payment is available from the
school office. School meals are available free if parents are in receipt of Income
Support. Parents should apply to the school office if they feel
they qualify. Special dietary requirements can
usually be accommodated - please come and talk to the office.

 Packed Lunches
As
an alternative to school dinners, your child may bring a packed
lunch. Once again we encourage our children to have a healthy
lunch. These should be provided in a packed lunch box with a
drink. No peanuts (or peanut related products), sweets or
fizzy drinks are permitted in packed lunches.
The children are supervised by seven
dinner supervisors during lunch break. This includes help while the
children are eating their lunch and then supervision on the
playground whilst the children are playing.
Breakfast Club
We offer the facility for children to be left at school from 7.45am.
Currently the cost of leaving your child in the Breakfast Club
is £3-50 per session. Breakfast is also available at the
club for an extra charge of £1. There is a varied menu for this
club including cereals, toast, milk and fruit juice. The
menu is displayed outside the school.
Afternoon Club
This is a facility available to all part-time children. It runs
from September to December. The hours covered are between 1pm and
3pm and the current charges are £6 per afternoon. The children can
be collected at 3pm or may then go on to the After School Club.
This club is run by the same staffing members.
After School Club
This is available to all children and is open from 2.50pm to 5.45pm
during term time. Children bring in a change of clothes and a
packed tea, so they do not feel it is an extension of the school
day. Three members of staff arrange a variety of indoor and outdoor
activities and supervise the club. Currently the current cost is
£9
per session. Children who have attended our school and
wish to use this facility for the first year at junior school are
able to return.
Extra Curricular Activities
A variety of after-school activities are available for all
children. These currently are Spanish, football, French and art
and craft. These clubs are run by external trainers and there are
charges for them.
Little Badgers
This mother and toddler group is open to all families with children
who are registered with us. They meet every Monday afternoon from
1.30pm to 2.45pm, term time only, in our school hall. It is very successful and
allows children to become familiar with the staff and the school
environment. (If you wish to register go to
contact page).
Nursery
There is an independent, privately run Nursery within the school
which is open each weekday morning and three afternoons per week,
during term time.
