Hot Lunch Provision

Our cook provides a wonderful food offering of hot lunches on a 3-week rotation, courtesy of Hampshire County Council’s catering expert HC3S, who are responsible for ensuring all of our menus include healthy and sustainable choices. For more information about their service please click here.

School meals are free for children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2*.

 * Universal Infant Free School Meals (UIFSM) provides general funding for all government funded schools to offer free school meals and mid-morning snacks to pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2.

Snacks and Drinks

Our school provides a selection of fruit and vegetable snacks for Reception to Year 2 children only, as this is funded by our UIFSM grant.

Please provide your child(ren) with snacks if required.

We ask that ALL children come to school with a named water bottle every day.

Nut free school

Although we recognise that this cannot be guaranteed, our school aims to be a nut-free school so far as is reasonably practicable.

Peanut allergy is the second most common food allergy in children and this is increasing. It now occurs in 1 in 50 children. In order to reduce the risk to those who may suffer a reaction if exposed to nuts our school has a “No Nuts Policy”.

If a pupil with an allergy comes in contact with a nut product, they can suffer life threatening consequences. It can be easily contracted from a simple handshake or touching of a pupil’s table from anyone who may have had some nuts in their food.

We request that you do not provide your child with any products containing nuts in their lunch box: Some examples are:

• Fruit and cereal bars that contain nuts
• Chocolate bars or sweets that contain nuts
• Sesame seed rolls (children allergic to nuts may also have a severe reaction to sesame)
• Nutella
• Peanut butter
• Cakes made with nuts
• Muesli bars
• Baklava

Milk for under 5s

Free milk is available up until your child’s 5^th birthday. We will register your child but if you wish to continue and pay for the milk beyond their 5^th birthday please contact the school office, admin@chilmarkfonthillbishop.wilts.sch.uk and we can advise you about ordering online.
