St Matthew's C of E Primary School

School Meals and Milk

School meals are provided daily by Nottinghamshire County Council’s Catering Services. They are nutritionally balanced to provide a healthy meal for children. These meals are very popular with the children.

Our school menu can be accessed through:  https://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/education/school-meals/menus/primary/

If you child has a medical allergy to a food please make an appointment to meet with the school cook to discuss this.

The children can also bring in a packed lunch to have and we would like to remind you that school is a Healthy Eating School and so chocolate bars and fizzy drinks are not permitted in lunch boxes.

Children in Key Stage 1 are given a piece of fruit to have as a snack . Children in Key Stage 2 are invited to bring in a piece of fruit from home to have as a snack if they wish to do so.
