School Dinners at St Augustine's
At St Augustine's, we believe that the best option for children at lunchtime is to enjoy a hot school dinner. A nutritious, balanced meal helps children stay focused, energised, and ready to learn throughout the afternoon.
Universal Infant Free School Meals (Key Stage 1)
We expect parents and carers of children in Key Stage 1 to take up the option of the Universal Infant Free School Meal. We believe this meal offers the best support for children’s learning, health, and wellbeing.
School Meals for Key Stage 2
Children in Key Stage 2 can purchase a hot school dinner each day for £2.75, unless they are entitled to Free School Meals, in which case meals are provided free of charge.
Why We Recommend Hot School Dinners
We recognise the strong evidence showing that:
- Children are better prepared for learning when they have eaten well.
- Sharing a hot meal is an important social occasion, helping children develop vital social skills such as table manners, conversation, and cooperation.
Cooked Fresh On Site
All of our meals are freshly cooked on site in our school kitchen by our dedicated kitchen team, who work hard to provide healthy, tasty meals that children enjoy.
