Our school dinners are cooked by the kitchen at St James Primary School and transported out to school ready for serving.
Parents can book meals for the coming week by logging into their childs 'School Gateway' account before midnight Thursday After this date any meals booked for the commencing week will not count and you may still be charged.
All pupils in EYFS and KS1 are entitled to a universal free school meal (UFSM). If your child would like a hot meal and doesn't fall into the FSM or UFSM category, meals will be charged at £2.53 per day. Alternatively, children may bring a packed lunch to school but this must not include sweets or fizzy/sugary drinks.

Dartmoor Multi-Academy Trust are excited to announce that, from September, the Trust will be working with Goosemoor Educatering to enhance the catering offer across our schools. This will achieve our aim of every pupil to have access to high-quality, nutritionally balanced meals and to meet the Food Standards published by the Department for Education.
Exeter based Goosemoor Educatering focus on using the very best locally sourced, restaurant-quality products and using these to provide exciting and nutritionally balanced menus. A few examples of these ingredients are beef raised on Dartmoor, pork from Holsworthy farms, seasonal vegetables from across Devon and jams and chutneys from Lifton.
The menu is each school will be tailored to that school. Not only will the pupils have a voice in their new menus, but they will also be inclusive of all pupils and their dietary requirements, including allergens. Where necessary, each site will have meals and recipes tailored for individual dietary requirements so that all pupils are safe, whilst also having access to delicious meals. All the dishes on menus will be nut-free.
