Thringstone Primary School

School Meals

We are proud to use our on-site kitchen to provide freshly prepared school meals for our children.

Our meals are provided by Caterlink, who offer a wide range of balanced options across the week. This includes hot meals, vegetarian choices and daily alternatives such as jacket potatoes, fresh fruit and salad. Our current menu runs on a three-week cycle, and is reviewed reguarly alongside Caterlink.

All children in Foundation Stage, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to free school meals through the Universal Infant Free School Meals programme.

For children in Key Stage 2, school meals should be paid for in advance, preferably through ParentPay. Any cash sent into school should be in a clearly labelled envelope or purse with your child’s name, class and the amount enclosed. Up-to-date meal prices are available from the school office.

Packed Lunch
Your child may bring a packed lunch together with a fruit type squash or milk drink in a screw top container if they wish. Children are not permitted to bring drinks in cans or glass bottles. They should not bring fizzy drinks to school. Water is always available.

Water
Chilled water is available for the children at all times. We do ask the children to bring a small plastic bottle to school which can be filled during the day.

Break
Many children bring a snack for break time. We encourage children to bring this in a container with their name on it. We prefer it if children do not bring sweets.

Through the National Fruit Scheme, children in Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 receive a piece of fresh fruit each day and do not need to bring another snack to school.
