School Lunches

Our school provides delicious and nutritious daily meals, prepared and served by our fantastic catering team, led by Ms Price. Our menu changes on a regular basis, with pupils involved in choosing the next round of choices. This includes taster sessions.

 

School Menu

Please see below for the 3 week menu.

All children in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 are eligible for Universal Infant Free School Meals.  Nursery pupils can order a meal, but these must be paid for.

Paying for School Meals

We introduced the ParentPay system for school meal payments, which has proved a great success. If you need information about your ParentPay account, please contact the school office. The benefits of ParentPay are:

• It’s secure; set up payments online to pay for meals
• Peace of mind, manage your account and see when meals have been taken
• Low balance alerts and auto top up facility are available
• No identification of pupils on free school meals

Benefit-based Free School Meals
If your child is eligible for free school meals, you must complete complete a free meal application form.  The school receives funding for every child registered so it is important you do this even if your child receives free meals due to being in Key Stage 1.

Please note you only need to apply once while your child is in Key Stage 1. If you are unsure if you need to apply please email enquiries@stjosephsjarrow.co.uk

Food Allergies and Intolerances
We recognise the importance of making school meals available for everyone and that includes children with food allergies and intolerances. We currently offer a range of diets including:

• Milk free
• Egg free
• Gluten free
• Nut free

If your child requires a medically prescribed diet you must contact school to make an appointment to discuss your child’s dietary requirements.
