School Meals

Menu from February 28th

Our school is a healthy school and all meals are prepared fresh on site by Mr Frankland, our Chef, and his catering team.  Our fully inclusive catering provision is supported by RPJ3 Consultancy who have over 25 years experience in providing tasty and nutritious meals.  Children have a choice of a hot main course, jacket potatoes or deli sandwich/roll/wrap with a choice of filling and salad bar.  There is a vegetarian option available every day and a selection of cake, fruit and desserts.

If your child has any food allergies or intolerances these can be catered for, please make sure you let your child’s class teacher know.

School dinners for Junior children cost £1.80 a day or £9 per week.  Payment should be made via Parentpay at the start of each week as Northcote School runs a cashless system.

Infant children are entitled to a free hot dinner under the Government’s Universal Free School Meals programme.
