As your child starts school there are lots of decisions you will have to make.  One of the most important is what they will do at lunch time.  There are four options and these are explained here.

So why should you opt for the school meal?  Here are some of the main reasons:

• Your child can gain confidence and independence selecting their own hot, freshly prepared meal every day.
  
  
• Your child will learn how to talk to others while having a meal and make new friends.  This will help your child grow in confidence.
  
  
• It can be difficult to get children to try new foods.  At school we let them try small portions of food to see if they like it and if so they can have more.
  
  
• Teaching and supervisory staff are on hand to encourage children to eat up their lunch.
  
  
• Catering staff quickly learn what children like and will adapt the menu when necessary.  They ensure no child goes hungry.
  
  
• Your child's school meal will be nutritionally balanced, by our Nutritionist, to give the right amount of nutritients for healthy growth.
