School Meals

Menu and catering information about our school.

We use Kafoodle to share our menus with parents quickly and easily. This digital system ensures you always have access to the most up-to-date meal information. You can view daily options, dietary details, and allergen information.

St Mary’s provides a school meal service offering hot, nutritionally balanced meals, freshly prepared and cooked on the school premises.

The meals are produced by BWCET Catering and offer a choice from 3 main courses and 3 desserts per day. Each meal is developed to ensure the right amount of protein, carbohydrates, fruit and vegetables is available while avoiding confectionery and artificially-sweetened drinks, with limits on the fat, salt and sugar content in each meal. If your child has a special dietary requirement (supported by a Medical Practitioner) then this can still be provided for.

Guidelines for parents:

  • At the start of each school year, please contact the school office to let us know whether your child will be having a school meal or will be bringing a packed lunch.
  • If you would like to make changes from a packed lunch to a school meal (or vice versa) we request that you give us 2 weeks advance notice to allow kitchen staff to amend the food order.
  • Each school meal costs £2.95 and payments must be made via your Arbor account. PLEASE NOTE: all children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 will continue to receive universal free school meals (this is a government initiative and could be withdrawn at any time).
  • The current menu can be viewed below. The menu comprises of a 3 weekly cycle with dates as follows: Week 1 begins on 8/9/25; Week 2 on 15/09/25; and Week 3 on 22/09/25 etc.
  • Packed lunches should only include healthy items and should not include confectionery, fizzy drinks or glass bottles.
