School Meals
At St Bernadette's all meals are prepared daily on site in our school kitchen and provided by Edwards and Ward. There are a choice of nutritionally balanced healthy meals and the children can choose a meat or vegetarian option, meals can be prepared for children on special diets. School meals are available to all children.
Universal Free School Meals
All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2, are entitled to receive a hot school dinner, free of charge.
Packed Lunches
Parents do have the option for their child to bring in their own healthy packed lunch. Packed lunches need to be provided in a named lunch box. Drinks should be in an unbreakable container or carton. We ask that no nut products or peanut butter are included as some children have severe allergic reactions. Please do not send in fizzy drinks or sweets.
Allergies
If your child has a food allergy, please contact Mrs Dale in the school office to discuss. Contact number 01252 548123 or via adminoffice@st-bernadettes.hants.sch.uk
Payment
Year 3 through to Year 6 have a cost for their school dinner of £3.00 per day, £15.00 per week. Payment for school meals should be made via Parentmail. We are unable to extend credit for any school dinners. Should dinner money become outstanding for payment, you will be requested to provide packed lunches for your child. To avoid mutual embarrassment please do not let this situation arise.
