School Dinners
Abbey Farm school kitchen opened in September 2024. We have an amazing Chef Becky with an assistant, Max.
Meals can be ordered through Arbor Parent Portal or App at the cost of £2.70 for Pre-School and children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are eligible for Universal Infant Free School Meals (UIFSM) so are free up until the end of Year 2. Our staff are trained in food safety and we are registered with the local authority as a food handler. From year 3 children have to pay for a cooked meal.
Children are also welcome to bring a packed lunch from home, please see the following document for ideas for a healthy lunchbox.
Packed Lunch from Home Guidance
We ask that no nuts or nut products are brought into school and do not use them in our kitchen or breakfast club. Please read the following 'No Nuts' statement below.
If your child has an allergy or intolerance, please complete the form below and pass to the office. If dietary needs are complex we will arrange a meeting to discuss requirements.
Although a document aimed at schools, this is full of nutritional guidance for both school and home.
