The catering team* prepare a selection of balanced healthy meals. Every child in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to receive a free** nutritious lunch or can choose to bring a packed lunch from home.
*Our meals are prepared in the kitchen at South Green Junior School.
* *There is a cost to the school to provide these lunches so please do not order food that your child will not eat.
Our mission is to reduce food and financial waste in school.
All meals must be ordered through ParentPay
We have to order all our children's meals
with the catering team a week in advance,
there is a cut when it will not be
possible to orders or alter your child's choices
ParentPay has advised it is best to use a PC or laptop where possible so that the whole week can be viewed and selections made easily.
