SchoolSchool Lunches/Healthy Lunchbox
Hot lunches are served at school daily and are available to all children. In January 2018 we opened our ‘Fly High Café’ and Catering Manager, Mrs Clare Bell, is doing a fantastic job creating mouth-watering meals here on site every day.
We are listening to children about what they like (evidenced by the amount of waste left over each day and what they order) and aim to keep our menu fresh and exciting. The number of children having hot meals at school has increased and the feedback is extremely positive. Take a look at the menus availabel on Parentpay
Meals must be ordered via the ParentPay website, where you will find menus and be able to make payment if appropriate. Logon details for the site can be obtained from the school office.
The cut off date for placing your order is midnight on Tuesday of the preceding week. You are not committed to selecting a meal each day, you may opt to choose a lunch on as many days as you like each week. Meals are free to all Key Stage 1 pupils and £2.45 per meal for all other pupils unless they are entitled to free school meal provision.

School Meals and Food Allergies
At Randwick School, all meals are freshly prepared on site. We are committed to supporting children with food allergies, intolerances and other dietary requirements, and we work closely with parents and carers to ensure that pupils can enjoy school meals safely.
We maintain up-to-date information about the ingredients and allergens contained within our menu items and review this information whenever recipes, ingredients or suppliers change. Parents and carers can request allergen information from the school office at any time.
If your child has a diagnosed food allergy, intolerance or other medical dietary requirement, please contact the school as soon as possible. We will work with you to understand your child's needs and put appropriate arrangements in place. Where required, these arrangements will be recorded within an Individual Healthcare Plan and shared with relevant staff to ensure your child's safety.
Whilst we take all reasonable precautions to reduce the risk of allergen exposure, we cannot guarantee that our kitchen environment is completely free from allergens. We therefore encourage parents and carers to discuss any concerns with us so that we can work together to support their child safely.
For further information about how we support pupils with allergies, please refer to our Allergy and Anaphylaxis Policy or contact the school office.
