School Dinners

At Hullavington CE Primary and Nursery School, we are proud to offer a choice of freshly prepared, nutritious and delicious school meals. Our catering is provided by Caterlink, our external catering provider, with all meals cooked fresh on-site every day.

Children can choose from four options each day: two hot main meal choices, a baguette or a jacket potato. We aim to offer a varied and balanced menu that caters for different tastes and encourages children to try new foods.

We can also accommodate individual dietary requirements and food allergies, working with families to ensure that children are able to enjoy their meals safely.

Throughout the year, we also enjoy a range of special themed menu days, giving children the opportunity to explore different foods and celebrate special occasions.

Please see the latest lunch menu below.

Packed Lunches

We encourage parents and carers to provide a healthy, balanced and nutritious packed lunch to help children stay energised and ready to learn throughout the school day.

Packed lunches should include a variety of foods, such as a sandwich or other filling option, fruit and vegetables, and a healthy snack. We encourage children to bring a refillable water bottle. Fizzy drinks are not permitted.

To help keep everyone safe, please do not include nuts or any products containing nuts in your child's packed lunch. This includes items such as cereal bars, chocolate spreads and some biscuits.

We also ask parents to follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) food safety guidance when preparing lunches for younger children. Foods should be prepared in an age-appropriate way to reduce th risk of choking. For example:

• Grapes and small tomatoes should be cut lengthways into quarters.

• Sausages and similar foods should be cut lengthways into thin strips rather than round pieces.

• Foods with a hard texture, such as raw carrot, should be avoided or prepared in a suitable way for younger children.

• Food should be cut into manageable, bite-sized pieces appropriate to your child's age and ability.

Please also consider the size, texture and shape of foods when preparing lunches for younger children, as these can present a choking risk.

Thank you for supporting us in promoting healthy eating and keeping all our children safe.
