Our school uses Mellors Catering Services to provide delicious food to our children. All food is cooked onsite in our well equipped kitchen. Mellors is committed to delivering an exciting choice of food where the finest, freshest ingredients from local suppliers are used which means better quality food.
Parents can either book a school meal for their child/ren or provide a packed lunch. We have three weekly menus that are rotated throughout the term. Please see below for the menus and rotation dates.
Meals are eaten in the school hall and children are overseen by our MSAs (Midday Supervisory Assistants)7
School Dinners
A school meal costs £3.00.
Please use Arbor Parent App to book and pay for your meals in advance. Bookings for a meal close at 08:30 on the day of the meal. If your child is in receipt of Universal Free School Meals or Free School Meals, please still book a meal on Arbor – you will not be charged.
For further details on how to book / pay for meals on Arbor please follow this Guidance.
With many families facing financial hardship as the cost of living increases, NYCC (North Yorkshire County Council) are doing all that we can to ensure that every family that is eligible to claim Free School Meals (FSM) for their child is benefiting from this additional help. All applications can now be made electronically. To apply for FSM please follow the guide and apply online here.
Packed Lunches
Packed lunches should be sent in an appropriate container. The food should be such that your child can manage to eat it himself/herself at lunchtime. Water will be provided. Fizzy drinks, canned drinks and glass bottles must not be brought to school. Children are encouraged to finish their lunch.

Nut Free Zone
We aim to be a ‘Nut Free Zone’ and ask parents not to send in anything containing nuts. For children who have school meals, while all reasonable precautions are taken to ensure all products supplied by our caterers are free from nuts, we cannot guarantee this to be the case as products may be subject to external influences which cannot be controlled.
