CHARTWELLS

Chartwells will be replacing HC3S from 5TH JANUARY 2026 they will be our new catering team.  Chartwells are very experienced and enthusiastic about feeding children well and offering tasty meals from nutritionally balanced menus.

If your child needs a specific medically requested diet  please contact your school office (eg wheat and gluten free (coeliac), egg free and dairy free diets).  Chartwells are always happy to hear your comments, suggestions and ideas about improving the meals they offer and if you require any further information, then please contact them and they will be pleased to help.

A three week rolling menu is published. Families are encouraged to talk through the menu with their child.

Home Packed Lunches: If your child would still prefer to bring a packed lunch from home please ensure their name is clearly marked on the outside of ALL containers and of their packed lunch box. Please do not send in any glass containers. Please do not include any hot soups, flasks, sweets, chocolate, fizzy or dark coloured drinks.

Your child must bring their water bottle into school every day – preferably empty please so that they can fill their bottle with fresh water in school.

These bottles are for water only.

SCHOOL MEALS

Children may bring a packed lunch or order a nutritious school meal from our school kitchen provided by HC3S.  For over five years, our school lunch menus have been designed to help children flourish. All our classics menus follow the School Food Standards by the Government which are designed to help children follow healthy eating habits from a range of food across the week. The standard determines portion size and ensures children get the nutrition they need for the whole of the school day.  As a non-profit organisation, we work tirelessly to continue to provide a two course nutritious lunch for children that maintains quality ingredients and represents good value.

Downloadable versions of our menu calendar, menu in different formats, foreign language menus and carbohydrate information are available on the HC3S website:
