School Meals
We actively promote a healthy lifestyle across the school by modelling good practise and by having high expectations. These expectations are also mirrored in the quality of food and drink we encourage in school.
Our hot school lunches are prepared and cooked fresh every day by Lincolnshire company, The Farm Kitchen. They have a wonderful team, that really cares about the food they serve and the dishes all taste amazing.
- The recipes are all good-for-you family favourites, packed full of fresh, healthy ingredients from local producers that help support every child’s physical development and mental wellbeing.
- Many of the vegetables come from local, Lincolnshire farmers and are grown just a few miles from their kitchens – freshly picked, in season vegetables not only taste great, they’re packed full of nutrients too.
- Their meat is only ever from British farmers, their sausages are made by their local butcher and their baker is just a few villages away. They also buy fish from a Grimsby fishmonger.
- The Farm Kitchen is based on their family-run farm in the heart of Lincolnshire and aim to inspire children to make healthy, sustainable food choices that will make a real difference to them and the world around them, now and in the future.

Packed Lunches
Children are welcome to bring in a healthy packed lunch into school. If your child is having a packed lunch it should be bought into school in a suitable container and should not contain fizzy or canned drinks/hot drinks/chewing gum/sweets.
We promote healthy lunches and lunchboxes should be based on the eatwell plate food groups (www.eatwell.gov.uk) which promotes a balance and variety in the diet. Parents and pupils should try to include something from each of the eatwell food groups in the lunch box and ensure that this includes a drink.
A healthy lunchbox should include: A good portion of starchy food, for example roll or bread, wraps, pitta bread, pasta or rice salad. Plenty of fruit and vegetables, for example an apple, satsuma, handful of cherry tomatoes, carrot sticks or a small box of raisins. A portion of dairy food for example an individual cheese portion or a pot of yoghurt. A portion of lean meat, fish, eggs or beans, for example ham, chicken, beef, tuna, egg or houmous
