Just as children are laying the foundations for a life of learning and rich experience, they are also taking early steps towards a healthy mind and body. This is where food and lunchtimes play an essential role.

Our catering providers bring the fun and excitement of food to our youngest children. Colours, textures and taste are there to be explored and enjoyed. There is always something on the menu for each child to enjoy.

Our friendly kitchen staff make wonderful hot dinners on site with a selection of choices to suit every palate. These are available for all pupils. Meals need to be ordered via My Child At School (MCAS) at least one week in advance. Children in Reception and Key Stage 1 are eligible for Universal Free School Meals – but these still need to be pre-ordered via MCAS. If you need assistance with your MCAS account, please contact the school office.

If you think you may be entitled to Free School Meals, please speak to a member of the office staff who will explain what you need to do to take up your entitlement, or there is a link on the website for you to check your own entitlement.

Free School Meals (1.0) (victoriaforms.com)

Our providers supply nutritious and balanced meals with varying menus which change each term. We strive to provide tasty and nutritious meals whilst impacting the environment as little as possible.

Our kitchens minimise the use of single-use plastics in the storage, preparation and serving of food.

Drinking water is freely available and children are encouraged to bring in reusable bottles.

This year, we have introduced family dining with meals served at the tables and a greater emphasis on communication, teamwork, respect and collaboration.
