Lunch is served in the main school hall. We also provide a dining area for pupils who choose to bring a packed lunch.
Our meals are healthy and nutritious and pupils have a choice from a varied menu provided by Chartwells.
We actively promote healthy eating in order to care for our pupil’s well-being and to support their learning and progress.
Pupils have 20 minutes to eat their lunch and for the other 40 minutes of lunch break they engage in sporting or social activities.
