School Lunches
Children can have a school meal or bring a packed lunch of their own
School Lunches
St Peters has a wonderful school kitchen which provides hot and cold meals to our pupils every day. Our catering provider, Aspens, regularly updates their menu and sometimes offers special lunches to coincide with special events.
The cost of a school dinner is £2.41.
Packed Lunches
Parents should encourage their children to eat a healthy packed lunch. Fizzy drinks, sweets, crisps, chewing gum and chocolate are not permitted.
As there are currently children in school with nut allergies, it would be appreciated if chocolate spread, peanut butter or packets of nuts were not included in your child’s packed lunch.
Lunch boxes should be clearly labelled with the child’s name and class
