School Meals

At Chillingham Road Primary School we strive to be a healthy school.

Thanks to the expertise and commitment of Mary our Chef and her great team, all of our school meals are cooked on site and are thoughtfully prepared.

 There is a high expectation around standards of behaviour in the dining hall as we aim to achieve a relaxed, homely, café style atmosphere. Exemplary manners at all times are our tradition and all children are expected to clear their table carefully each and every day.

 School meal prices are £3 per meal for all children from Nursery to Year 6 (£15 per week).

RE: Change to lunch offer for Reception/Year 1/Year 2

Whilst we have been considering our lunch time offer, we have heard from a number of families that they would like their child in Reception/Year 1/Year 2 to have a packed lunch rather than take up the universal free school meals offer.  We have reviewed our policies in light of family feedback and have changed it so that families with children in Reception/Year 1/Year 2 can choose whether to have a school meal or to bring a packed lunch from home.

Free School Meals for Key Stage 2

If you are on income support or receive certain other benefits your child is entitled to free school meals.

This is worth £570 per child per year.  You can acquire an application form from the school office

We have a colour system for Key Stage 2 meals.

How the system works:-

• School menus are on a three week rota.
• Each morning when the teacher takes the dinner register your child will need to say the colour choice for the meal they would like.
• Our children will then select a red, blue or green tray when it is time for their dinner.

The menus are available below:
