The school operates a cafeteria system.  Although a set meal is available each day, students may, if they wish, make up their own meals from a wide variety of separate dishes and food items.  These dishes are displayed at the hatches and are individually priced.  Meals are paid for in cash in exactly the same way as in a similar cafeteria in town.


The school is committed to providing a healthy meal for all students.  Students can also access the Breakfast Club and purchase refreshments at break time.  We have made a deliberate policy to remove salt, chips and fizzy drinks from our menu as they do not form part of a healthy diet and can have a negative impact of students learning and behaviour.

Students may bring packed lunches, but, in order to minimise litter, these must be brought in plastic containers and eaten in the Dining Hall at lunchtime.  All students who eat a meal on the school premises, whether it is a packed lunch or a school meal, must stay in the school grounds throughout the lunch break.

We must emphasise that we cannot accept responsibility for the safety of students who stay for lunch and then leave the premises without permission.

Parents of students who wish them to go out of school for some reason, should write to the Headteacher, explaining the circumstances and accepting responsibility, who may provide a pass. Passes are only issued for students to go home for lunch and can be withdrawn if this privilege is abused.

If you think that you qualify for free meals for your child/ren, apply to Children, Schools and Families telephone number 01438 737370 for the necessary form.  You can be assured that we take every possible care to ensure that no child who has free school meals is caused any embarrassment.  Please click here to be redirected to the Herts Direct Website for more information. 

All items are cooked by our own kitchen staff, including cakes and biscuits, in accordance with HCC Policy on Allergies.  There is always a choice of hot meals, salads and a range of vegetarian dishes.
