School Meals

For the year 2024 – 25, we continue to be able to offer free school meals to all children. Our school meals are provided by Caterlink. They are cooked on the premises and offer a range of options each day. Option 2 is always a vegetarian option. A weekly menu is prepared and is available for parents to see. The menu is changed twice a year and runs on a three week rotation. For a guide for this term, click on the link below:

Packed Lunches

If you prefer, your child can bring a packed lunch to school. Packed lunches are stored on a trolley in the school hall during the day.

We encourage children to make healthy choices at lunchtimes and ask that you support our Healthy School status when preparing packed lunches. We do not permit chocolate bars or any kind of fizzy drinks in packed lunches.

We have members of the school community who suffer from severe food allergies, which may lead to anaphylactic shock. Anaphylactic shock is a life-threatening condition. It is for this reason that Bishop Perrin is a ‘Nut-Aware School’. If there is any doubt as to whether a food product is suitable to be brought onto the school site with regards to it being a possible trigger for an anaphylactic shock, then please speak to the welfare assistants or the school office.

Although we recognise that this cannot be guaranteed, Bishop Perrin School aims to be a nut-free school and we ask staff and parents to support the school in these efforts. By being a ‘nut-aware school’, we aim to reduce the risk to those children and adults who may suffer an anaphylactic reaction if exposed to nuts or other products that can also lead to an anaphylactic reaction, for example, coconut and sesame seeds. We do not allow nuts or nut products in school lunch boxes. This means that the following items should not be brought into school:

•             Packs of nuts / coconut

•             Peanut butter and Nutella sandwiches

•             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)

•             Cakes / other products made with nuts
