Lunches and nutrition

Ark Priory Primary Academy is committed to healthy eating and we expect all pupils to eat a hot school lunch which is prepared on site everyday by our in-house chef and catering team. All meals are low in sugar, fat and salt and are rotated on a three weekly basis. All meat and fish are halal. A vegetarian choice is always provided and we can usually cater to special dietary needs. Packed lunches are only allowed for medical reasons (accompanied by a doctor's recommendation).
Family dining is an important part of our day when we all sit down together, serve our friends and helpers and enjoy a healthy and tasty lunch. This is intended as a civilised dining experience where children will learn the value of healthy and tasty meals amongst fellow scholars and will encouragethem to practise their table manners and polite conversation.
