Dinner Menu, Fruit and Milk
School Dinners
Mrs Lopez-Garcia is dedicated to making sure that children enjoy the food they eat, while ensuring every meal is nutritionally balanced. Each day, children can choose from three main meal options, along with a selection of delicious desserts.
We also have a daily salad bar, offering a variety of fresh fruit and vegetables for children to enjoy, and Mrs Lopez-Garcia even bakes fresh bread every day!
We are able to cater for children with food allergies and dietary requirements, working closely with parents and carers to ensure that every child can enjoy a safe and suitable meal at lunchtime.
All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to Universal Infant Free School Meals (UIFSM), meaning their school meal is provided free of charge until the end of Year 2. Some children may also be eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) beyond Year 2, depending on their family circumstances.
Children choose their preferred meal option each half term through ParentPay. However, if your child would like to change their choice at any time, this is absolutely fine — they simply need to speak to the school office.
Our teachers enjoy the school dinners too, eating alongside the children — so we think that is a pretty good recommendation for how tasty our meals are!
We are also delighted to have achieved a 5-star food hygiene rating from the Food Standards Agency, giving parents peace of mind that our kitchen operates to the highest standards of food hygiene and safety.

Milk
Nateby primary school have a milk scheme in place. If you would like to enrol your child, please see attachment below.
Fruit
All pupils in Key Stage 1 are entitled to a piece of fresh fruit each day through the Government’s School Fruit and Vegetable Scheme.
As part of our commitment to a healthy schools ethos, we believe that all children should have the opportunity to enjoy fresh fruit each day. For this reason, the school also purchases fresh fruit for our Key Stage 2 pupils, ensuring that children throughout school can enjoy a healthy snack each day.
We encourage our pupils to make healthy choices and enjoy a wide variety of fresh fruit as part of a balanced diet.
Free School Meals
Free school meals provide children with a nutritious meal each day, while helping to ease financial pressure on families. They can also support children’s attendance, wellbeing and learning.
All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a free school meal, regardless of family income.
Children in Key Stage 2 (Years 3–6) may also be entitled to Free School Meals if their family meets the eligibility criteria. We would encourage parents and carers to check their eligibility, as applying for Free School Meals can provide valuable support for your child and family.
