Children can have a school meal or bring a packed lunch of their own
Our school caterers are Edwards & Blake.
Children who bring in a packed lunch are welcome to sit with those who have school dinners.
If your child has any food allergies or specific dietary requirements, please let the school office know as they will need to have a special medical diet put in place in order for them to have school meals.
If your child stays for school lunch and is likely to be late to school for any reason, please contact the School Office by 10:30 to order a meal for them. Meals cannot be ordered after this time.
We have moved to electronic payments using the facilities provided by Parent Pay.
The cost of a school meal is currently £2.30. If you feel your child may be eligible for free school meals, please ask at the school office for an application form or click here.
You are eligible if you are in receipt of the following:
All pupils in Reception, year 1 and year 2 are entitled to a free school meal under the government’s Universal Infant Free School Meal scheme.
Parents should encourage their children to eat a healthy packed lunch. Fizzy drinks, sweets, crisps, chewing gum and chocolate are not permitted.
As there are currently children in school with nut allergies, it would be appreciated if chocolate spread, peanut butter or packets of nuts were not included in your child’s packed lunch.
Lunch boxes should be clearly labelled with the child’s name and class
St Christopher's is a Nut Free School.
As a healthy mid-morning snack, we encourage children to bring fruit (fresh or dried) or raw vegetables (no sweets, chewing gum or crisps please). Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 pupils are provided – free of charge – with a portion of fruit or vegetable each day.
For younger children, where parents wish to provide the mid-morning snack themselves, it is recommended that it is prepared for easy eating and stored in a small plastic container. Children are encouraged to drink water throughout the day.
Drinking water is available on tap in every classroom. It is recommended that every child brings in an individual, labelled water bottle.
