School Meals

The school dining room serves a mid-morning snack for Senior School students at 10.05 each day. Lunch is served from 12.30 to 1.30 and is taken in staggered sittings according to year group. Children in the Preparatory School are required to take school meals. Students in the Senior School  are strongly encouraged to take school meals, although some bring packed lunches. School meals are paid for by dinner contracts sold each half-term or by cash at the till.

What are the benefits of having School Meals?

• A balanced meal improves concentration and learning in the afternoon
• Introduces your child to a wide range of foods (especially on our ‘Themed Days')
• Students sit down at the table to enjoy their meal and develop the social skills of eating together
• Saves parents valuable time, money and energy in preparing packed lunches. Many packed lunches are very high in fat, sugar and additives.
