School Meals
School Meals
Lunchtime is a very important part of the whole school day but it isn't just about the food they eat. Children also learn how to behave in a dining area, how to interact with their friends and try foods they might not have at home.
Derbyshire County Council caterers cook school dinners daily in our school kitchens using fresh, local produce to provide a healthy and delicious range of dishes.
Weekly menus provided by Derbyshire County Council have been planned to offer choice and variety for your child. We provide hot specials of the day, supported by fresh vegetables or salad, a vegetarian choice, hot and cold desserts, snacks and sandwiches.

Special Diets
Special diets are a very important part of our catering provision in schools. Please find below information regarding allergen and medical diet procedures. These procedures are essential to ensure the needs of each individual pupil can be safely met.
Free School Meals
Parents claiming some benefits can claim free school meals for their children who are registered at a Staffordshire school and who would normally be at school at lunch time. Even if you don't want your children to have the meals, claiming them helps their school.
