School Meals
All pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 classes are entitled to a school meal free of charge. Nutritious meals are cooked daily onsite by AIP at Parson street primary school. A menu is provided and rotates over a 3 week period and each child is provided with a main meal and pudding. We can provide a range of alternative meals including, but not limited to, vegetarian, vegan and halal. If your child has any specific meal requirements or allergies please contact Luisa Noel (LNoel@parsonstreet.com) who will then liaise with our catering team.
Reception, Year 1 &2
Your child will be provided with a free school meal each day as part of the Government universal free school meal initiative. Alternatively, you can provide your child with a pack lunch.
Nursery and Year 3 – 6
All school dinners must be paid for in advance by using the Arbor app. Alternatively, you can provide your child with a pack lunch.
Packed lunches
At Parson street we like to encourage all our children to eat a healthy and balanced lunch, including those who bring a packed lunch. Here is some helpful information to support you with this lunch option.
According to NHS choices a balanced lunchbox should contain:
- Starchy foods like bread, rice, potatoes, or pasta
- Protein foods like meat, fish, eggs, or beans
- A dairy item, like cheese or yogurt
- Vegetables or salad and a portion of fruit
All children are provided with water during lunch time and have access to their water bottles all throughout the day. We encourage children to drink as much water as possible, especially in warmer weather.
Please note we are a nut free school therefore, please do not send your child in with nuts or products that contain nuts such as Nutella.
