School lunches are prepared and served on the premises by our kitchen staff. Meals cost £2.60 per day and are paid for using Arbor. Children up to year 2 receive free school meals.
Lunchtime takes place between 11.55am and 1.10pm.
When your children start at Primary School for the first time it is an important and time for your child. It is an opportunity to encourage children to eat healthy options and a variety of different foods. The school is fortunate in having it’s own cooking team lead by Mrs Turner. She is supported by the fully trained catering staff and prepares meals which are put together by the East Yorkshire Council, who prepare healthy and tempting menus that meet current nutritional guidelines.
The aim is for children to have a pleasing, positive experience where they enjoy a range of healthy food in a safe and nurturing environment. The school hot menu is a single choice menu, offering vegetarian or a meat meal. The menu is offered on a 3 week cycle, changed twice per year. There are also cold options for children on universal free school meals.
Vegetarian meals are available with prior notification of your child’s dietary requirements is given.
During the lunchtime break the children are supervised by Midday Supervisors, under the direction of a Senior Midday Supervisor, Miss Hoyle.
Where children prefer to bring a packed lunch to school, a beaker of water is provided, but children can bring an alternative drink in a plastic bottle or paper carton. Kirk Ella St Andrew’s Primary School prides itself on promoting healthy eating and therefore do not allow fizzy drinks, drinks in glass bottles, energy drinks, chocolate bars or sweets in packed lunches.
Co-operation is requested on ensuring Kirk Ella St Andrew’s Primary School remains a NUT FREE ENVIRONMENT due to children and staff in school suffering from life threatening allergies.
Free School Meals
In order to support parents, the government provides Free School Meals to children whose families are eligible for certain benefits; this is not just for children whose parents are unemployed.
If eligible, your child could have a Free School Meal on a daily basis, saving up to £400 over a year. For every Free School Meal child in the school, the school receives a further pupil premium funding for supporting and developing the child.
If you think your child may be eligible for Free School Meals, you can either pop into the office to chat to one of our administration team, or use the portal on the East Riding website which can be using the link below.
