At John Wilkinson Primary School, we have a choice of hot meals that are cooked fresh on site each day.  The children will be able to see the menu in advance to help them choose whether they have a hot school dinner.

We organise our lunch hour into two sittings where children eat alongside children from other classes, making it a social dining experience.

Sitting 1: Reception, Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3

Sitting 2: Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6

We have a wonderful catering team who specialise in providing healthy, nutritious and delicious food with plenty of variety and all food allergies and dietary requirements are catered for. To help ensure the meal choices are what the children really enjoy, we will analyse choices and gather feedback from the children about food preferences, and use this information to help influence future menus with our catering team’s advice and support.

Children who decide they would prefer a packed lunch also eat in the hall so that, as a school community, we enjoy a shared lunchtime experience together.

If you are interested in your child having school dinners, please contact the school office where they will be able to give you further information.

Universal Infant Free School Meals.

All children in reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a free school meal under the 'Universal Free School Meals' offer.  Please note this is different from the means tested free school meal offer.   Even if your child is in Key Stage 1, we would encourage you to apply for 'Free School Meals' as soon as possible, if you meet the criteria, as this will also provide additional support for your child and family.
