From Thursday 1st April 2021, we will have our school dinners cooked by Okehampton College Canteen and transported out to school ready for serving.
Parents can select meal choices by logging into their 'School Gateway' account before 9am the same day.
All pupils in Reception and Class 1 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 then meals will be charged at £2.30 per day. Alternatively, children may bring a packed lunch to school but this must not include sweets or fizzy/sugary drinks.
