Working in partnership with Herts Catering (HCL), our school will be offering the School Grid lunch ordering system. Menus can be viewed and lunches can be pre-ordered by the parent and child together at home. All lunch options including vegetarian options are displayed.

​

If you need any further support please see the ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ section of the HCL Special Diets website or alternatively you can email HCL.Nutritionist@hcl.co.uk

​

All ordering of school lunches is done through our provider, School Grid. From this site, you are required to pick your child’s lunch options in advance. 

​

To access this platform, you must have a School Grid account. To obtain this information please contact the school office. 

​

Please get in touch if you encounter any problems with this system and we will work them through together.

Packed Lunches

We are a healthy school and ask parents to ensure your child(ren) bring in a healthy meal every day.  

​

Children in Nursery, Reception, Years 1 and 2 are provided with a piece of fruit or vegetable as their snack each day. A water bottle should be provided every day with water, not squash. Children in Year 3 and above may bring a healthy snack each day for break time. All snacks and packed lunches should be healthy and not contain fizzy drinks, chocolate or crisps. As a nut free school, please ensure there are no items that contain nuts, including peanut butter and some cereal bars, etc
