School meals information

We are extremely fortunate to have a new and modern kitchen in our school where healthy, nutritious food is freshly cooked each day. Our pupils can choose from a variety of cooked meals and a salad, followed by a choice of dessert. 

Lunchtime is one of the highlights of the day at Earlham Primary School. Through our provision of a healthy, well-balanced meal, we help children learn why healthy food is important. ‘Lunchtime’ company provides our delicious and nutritious school meals are provided. 

The kitchen team prepare all meals on-site every day. . Provision is made for children who are vegetarian, who have allergies or who require a halal meal. 

If your child has a packed lunch, it’s important to note that lunches contribute to almost a third of a child’s weekly food intake and therefore need to be balanced and nutritious. Our aim is to ensure that packed lunches brought in from home reflect the standards of school meals. 

Earlham Primary School is a nut free school. 

Packed Lunches

If your child brings a packed lunch to school, please ensure that it is a healthy one. We ask that you do not include sweets, chocolate bars or fizzy drinks as part of their lunch.

Please make sure that your child’s lunch box/bag is named. If your child has any dietary needs, please speak to the school office and / or our welfare officer so that this information can be shared with our team of mealtime supervisors - they are in the dining hall every day to assist and support the children.

Getting ideas and inspiration for what to include in your child’s lunchbox can be a difficult task.  Healthy eating is simply about getting a better balance and eating a wide variety of foods.  Variety is the key to a healthy diet, so try not to offer the same foods on consecutive days.  By including a broad range of different foods, a much wider variety of nutrients will be eaten.

Please note that we are a NUT FREE school so please do not send any nuts or products containing nuts (such as peanut butter or cereal bars with nuts) into school with your child.
