Lunches

Stir Food

Our school meals are provided be Stir Food, and cooked by Sharon. The menus consist of a choice of either two main dishes (meat or fish and vegetarian), jacket potatoes with a variety of toppings, or penne pasta with homemade sauces and a dessert. In addition, we provide a salad bar with at least 6 different salad items to choose from daily, and bread (baked on site, if possible). Each month we have a seasonal salad recipe that must be served at the salad bar once - but can feature as often as desired. Our current menu can be found below, but the full menu can be found on the Swift Kitched online order system app.Swiftkitchen.co.uk

Supporting Healthy Eating for Every Age 

At Stir, we know that a five-year-old’s needs are very different from an eleven-year-old’s! Listening to feedback from schools, we’ve gone beyond the standard School Food Standards guidelines to create tailored recipes and portion sizes for both
KS1 and KS2.This not only helps us carefully plan and cost our menus but also ensures that every child gets to choose a nutritious meal - right up until the last lunch is served. In this way, we help children to develop healthy eating habits and ensure they get the right energy and nutrition to power them through the school day. We’re proud to support happy, healthy lunchtimes for every pupil.

If preferred, children may bring a packed lunch. This should be in a clearly named, airtight container. Cutlery, such as spoons for yoghurts, must be provided as well as a beaker for water. If your child brings a drink it must be in a named flask or plastic container with a well fitting lid (no fizzy drinks). Lunch boxes and drinks should be taken to the dining hall before school. Children are encouraged to have a healthy balanced packed dinner – no sweets or chocolate bars. Thank you.
In line with new legislation on food allergens, information is available, upon request, which details a range of possible allergens for each of the items on our menu.  Please contact the School Office for further details
