School Meals/Menus
Please be aware that we have pupils in school with nut allergies – we would appreciate your assistance by not sending your child to school (or on trips) with food containing nuts/coconut.
Please cut up foods which could potentially cause choking eg grapes, cherry tomatoes - thank you!

Spring Term 1 Menu 🍽️
New Climate Friendly Mondays -
No tuna option but cheese and baked beans with Jacket Potatoes.
Our school focus is on providing a healthy menu of low carbon intensive foods to create a culture in which people’s wellbeing is enhanced. We strive for our children to understand that through their daily menu choices, they can be a powerful advocate for not just their own health, but the future of a healthy planet.
Our school culture of sustainability and decarbonisation is pupil-led. Pupils know they can make sustainable choices every day in the food they choose. This includes meat free days and balanced menu choices which advocate low-carbon food, encourages justice and courageous advocacy, enabling pupils to make ethical choices and to be agents of change.


Charges
KS2 (Years 3,4,5 & 6) £2.95 per day

Please ensure your child's dinners are paid for in advance via ParentPay (preferred method of payment), or by sending payment to the school office. Please make cheques payable to St. Peter's C of E Academy, stating your child's name and what the payment is for on the back. We would be grateful if cheques for dinner money do not include amounts for other payments.

Milk
If you would like your child to receive milk and they are not already registered, please register your child online for school milk at www.coolmilk.com. If you require a paper form please contact the office. The subsidised price is around £14 per term for over-fives.
Preschool and Reception children up to the age of 5 receive daily milk in school, free of charge.
Packed Lunch
If your child prefers a packed lunch we encourage a healthy balanced lunch box, *see image example below. Government guidelines suggest this also. To prevent potential choking please cut up food items which may potentially cause choking eg grapes, cherry tomatoes.
Staff are regularly trained in choking recovery and First Aid. We ask children if they are choking or are sitting next to someone who appears to be choking to stand up and wave their arms above their head to gain attention.
