Venn are excited to share our new school meals service with you!
It’s designed to be kind to the planet and include everyone. With our pre-order system, we waste less food, so every meal is fresh and tasty.
We can offer different menu options like gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, and halal, all in a nut-free environment. This means every student can have a safe and yummy nutritious lunch, making it easy and worry-free for everyone.
What makes our service special is that the menus at each school are created by the students themselves. This makes lunchtime more fun because our students get to choose what they want to eat. Plus, these healthy and delicious meals cost just £1.50 each, no matter where the school is based. This makes it affordable for all families, and all children can enjoy high-quality meals.
Pupils may be collected and taken home at lunchtime, bring a packed lunch to school or have a school meal.
School meals are prepared and cooked on site.
If you would like your child to stay for school dinners they will have a choice of a meat or vegetarian meal, a jacket potato or a ham, cheese or tuna sandwich each day. A dinner menu is available to view on class dojo and you are welcome to have a look and talk to your child about their choices for the day or week. There is a salad bar and fresh fruit is available every day.
The current price of a school meal is £1.50. Pupils can choose from 3 hot choices every day. Dinner money should be paid on Parent pay for the full weeks meals.
Packed lunches may be brought from home. Drinks should not be fizzy and should be brought in a plastic container or carton. Cans and glass flasks are not allowed in school. In order to promote healthy eating, chocolate bars, sweets and energy drinks are not allowed.
