School Meals
Evelyn Street Primary Academy recognises that eating in school should be a pleasurable experience which helps children to develop health eating habits. A child's lunch must provide them with the energy and nutrients they need to get the most from their school day.
Morning Snack
Morning snack is provided by our school kitchen. A selection of free fruit is available for our EYFS and KS1 children.
The following items are available to purchase:
- Toast 30p
- Fruit juice carton 35p
- Milk 30p
This must be paid using ParentPay.
Packed Lunch
If you opt to provide a packed lunch for your child, we do encourage you to make healthy choices when preparing this.
As a general principle, we promote healthy, balanced packed lunches. They should consist of:
- Fruit and vegetables
- Unrefined starchy food - for example multigrain bread, pasta or rice
- Sources of protein - meat, fish, eggs, beans etc.
- Milk or other dairy foods - i.e. cheese
- A small amount of fat, sugar and salt
- Water, milk or juice
Also, please be mindful of the materials in your child's lunch box. Try to limit the amount of single use plastic and talk to your child about recyclable materials and what they should return home with - i.e. drink bottles and containers.
Please be aware that we are a NUT FREE school. We have children at school who have very severe nut allergies and would require medical assistance if they came into contact with any nuts. Therefore, please ensure your child's snack/packed lunch do not contain any nuts and check ingredients if you are not sure.
School Lunch
Our school lunch menu offers children a range of choices, including vegetarian options and alternatives. Each day children have access to unlimited fresh salad, wholemeal bread, water or fresh milk.
School lunch is £2.80 per day. This is paid using our cashless system ParentPay.
