Aspens Catering

From the 7th June 2021, our catering providers in school will change to Aspens catering. Our school meals are cooked fresh on the premises in our canteen. A school meal is priced at £2.30 per day/per child for those not in receipt of Free School Meals. Please see the website Aspens Services for more company information.

There will be a meat choice, a vegetarian choice, jacket potatoes and packed lunch options. The ordering process will remain the same initially; however, this will change from mid July 2021.

From late July, meals will need to be booked direct through Aspens, please see the link Aspens Select  for more information on the ordering system. (There is a useful Help/FAQ's tab at the top right hand of the page). We will send out a letter with more information on the ordering system in term 6.

If your child has a special dietary need such as an intolerance, allergy or avoidance please look over the guidance below. 

If you think you may be entitled to free school meals you can apply using the on-line checker which gives you an instant decision on eligibilty. The new checker can be found at www.n-somerset.gov.uk/freeschoolmeals
