School Meals
Introducing Caterlink (from September 2025)
We're pleased to let you know that from September, we will be working with Caterlink to provide freshly-made school meals on site.
We will let you know when you can book your child's meals in the normal way through ParentPay.
In the meantime, here are the menus for the first half of the Autumn Term 2025.
Pupils with allergies/special dietary requirements will receive bespoke menus.

Why choose a Caterlink School Meal?
Our school provides a milk scheme that is available to all of our pupils and we would like to invite you to register your child. School milk is free for under-5s, and for over-5s it is available at a subsidised rate.
Each child that registers with Cool Milk will receive a 189ml portion of semi-skimmed milk every day, delivered fresh and chilled to the classroom. Their school milk will not only provide them with essential nutrients, but as it is rehydrating and energy boosting it also bridges the gap between breakfast and lunch to help children stay focused. For more information on how milk can benefit children visit

Universal Infant Free School Meals
All children in reception, year 1 and year 2 automatically get a free school meal, but you should still register your child to receive free school meals if you are eligible. By doing this your child’s entitlement can be checked on a regular basis so that their school can receive valuable additional funding for every child receiving a free school meal. You can find out if your child qualifies for free school meals and apply here: https://www.torbay.gov.uk/freeschoolmeals
