School Meals

From 2nd November, Edward and Wards will be our new Catering provider. We will still be using School Grid but will have a completely brand new menu. See below.

Special Diets - Allergies & Food Intolerance

If your child is at primary school and requires a special diet due to a diagnosed allergy, intolerance or medical condition, you will need to register with us. Even if you have already registered with the school or previous catering provider, you will still need to register with us as your details cannot be shared. If your child has medical dietary requirements and is not registered with us, we may be unable to provide them with a school lunch. To guarantee that your registration is processed and available in the kitchen ready for the first day of term, please complete the registration as soon as possible. Our special diets registration form can be found on our website along with a full list of FAQs at edwardsandward.co.uk/special-diets/

School Grid

The new catering provider will still be using the new School Grid system. There will be no change there.

Menu

Please find new menu attached

Special Diets - Religious Beliefs

If your child requires a special diet due to religious beliefs, please make sure you clearly state this in your registration form.

Vegetarian Diets

If your child is vegetarian please pick the vegetarian option on School Grid. No special form needs to be completed. Children who are listed as vegetarian will be given vegetarian food only. 

Children who just do not like the meat option on any particular day will not necessarily be given a vegetarian option as only so many vegetarian portions are cooked each day. 

The menu will include daily pasta and jacket potatoes. 

Universal Infant Free School Meals: FS-Y2

All children from Foundation Stage to Year 2 will receive a free school meal. 

Paid for meals: Y3-Y6

Paid for meals are £3.11 per day for children in Year 3 - Year 6. School Dinners are paid via School Grid. You can top up your child's account as and when you choose. You will be sent an email alerting you if your balance goes below £5.

Free School Meals

If you think you are eligible for free school meals (even if your child receives Universal Infant Free School Meals) please contact Karen Wadforth on office@garsingtonprimary.org or pop by the office. Please note we receive essential additional funding for every free school meal pupil which will benefit your child beyond just free school dinners.
