Dolce provides hot meals for the children with 4 daily choices. We are fortunate to have all our meals cooked onsite daily by our Head cook and her team of staff.
Please see the Dolce website for the full menu.
Meals must be ordered in advance via SchoolGrid (this is an app you will need to download to your phone): https://app.schoolgrid.co.uk/login
Packed lunches
If your child prefers to bring a packed lunch, please ensure that boxes/bags are clearly named. Remember that we are a 'Healthy School'. Glass bottles, fizzy drinks, and sweets are not allowed in school for health and safety reasons. Due to some children having severe allergies we ask that packed lunches do not contain sesame or nuts.
Children can choose to have a hot meal or bring sandwiches on a daily basis.
The children are supervised by a dedicated team of Lunchtime Supervisory Assistants and Teaching Assistants. The team work with the children over the lunch break encouraging play skills, good manners, safety and making new friends.
Universal Free School Meals
Currently, all pupils in Year R, Year 1 and Year 2 in state funded schools in England are entitled to a free school meal (UIFSM). All children get free school meals if they are in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. If you apply (which only takes 5 minutes!) we get £1345 per child from the Government to make school life even better.
Free School Meals
If you are unsure if your child is entitled to Free School Meals, you can check eligibility online at https://www.cloudforedu.org.uk/ofsm/southampton/ or by asking at the school office for a paper form. It is important that you complete this form whether or not your child wishes to have hot school meals. Children entitled to 'Free School Meals' will be entitled to pupil premium. Please see the Pupil premium section for further information.
