Lunches and snacks
Attached to our School Hall is a kitchen which provides freshly cooked meals each day; catering company Twelve15 are contracted to provide the school's food. Our school meals are very popular and around 80% of RKS children take a school lunch daily. Lunch menus are centrally devised by Twelve15 to be nutritionally balanced and take place on a three week rotation.
Children who are absent through illness and inform the school of their absence by 10.15am will be credited with that day's payment.
Packed Lunches
Snacks
Children from Year 1 upwards may bring in snacks for their mid-morning break. We ask that these do not contain nuts, as we have children on site suffering from severe nut allergies. Appropriate snacks include fresh or dried fruit, vegetables and breadsticks.
Please consider the packaging that you use for these snacks, as we are doing our best as a school to reduce plastic waste.
Please do not send in fried crisps, biscuits or foods with high sugar/ salt/ fat content. Guidance on snacks is available on the NHS Change4Life Website and if you are giving your child packaged snacks rather than fruit and vegetables, please remember that the NHS guidelines are ‘100 calorie snacks, two a day max’.
All children should have a named water bottle in school each day. Water only is permitted in the classrooms. Water fountains are available for the children to refill their bottles (but bottles should be sent in freshly filled each day). Please ensure that your child’s water bottle is safe (not glass) and reusable. We hope that your child’s water bottle will last for many years; they definitely do not need a new bottle each year.
