Lunches
School lunches
See below for the current menus.
Midday meals are cooked in school and are the healthiest yet. Aspens are continuously revising the menus to make them nutritious & attractive to pupils. There is a three weekly menu each term, providing a varied choice for the children including a vegetarian option & salads.
The cost for a school lunch is £2.55 (£12.75 per week) this is paid for on the Arbor app (if you need help with this please contact the school office).
Packed lunches
We have a 'healthy snacks' policy and this also extends to lunches brought in from home.
If we are concerned about the lunches a child brings in we will contact the child's parents.
Our school lunches do meet food school standards so they are guaranteed to contain the right nutritional balance. We would always recommend school lunches - these are a good, healthy option!
