Ordering School Dinners Online

Please note that if you wish your child to have a hot dinner, you must order before midnight on the day before. If you do not do this, your child will NOT be able to have a hot dinner and you will need to provide them with a packed lunch. All meals are free for children from September 2023 till July 2024. You will still need to book your child's selection at least the evening before.
