Autumn and Winter 26-27 Menu
We take our responsibility of catering for today’s children and young adults seriously. Our dishes are prepared fresh every day, using high-quality, seasonal ingredients that are responsibly
sourced. Our trusted suppliers and traceable supply chain can ensure the provenance of all produce. Our dishes are created and served by experienced and enthusiastic teams who care about both what’s on the plate and the message behind it. It’s about helping children build a positive relationship with eating, and supporting their ongoing food and nutrition journey.
Special diets and food allergies!
Don’t worry if your child has a special diet, allergies, intolerances or dietary needs due to religious or cultural reasons – this is an important part of what we do. We already cater for lots of children with dietary requirements and follow strict food safety procedures. We are proud to be a Corporate Partner of The Natasha Allergy Research Foundation. It is the only UK-based charity that funds medical research into the causes and preventions of food allergies. The mission of the charity is to make allergy history – starting with food allergies.
Please speak to the school office for more information.
How to Order
To order hot or cold lunch please log into your Arbor account were you can order weekly. The cut of for ordering is only 2 days before. If your child doesn’t receive free school meals, lunches are £2.65 a day. You can top up your account as and when. You will get reminders via Arbor/School Office if account is low. If your child receives free school meals, you still order via Arbor but no payment needed.
All children in foundation stage and key stage one (Reception to Year 2) are entitled to a Universal Free School Meal (UFSM) and we strongly recommend that you encourage your child to take up this free meal. However, if you think your child is entitled to free school meals under the current criteria, it is important that you still register when your child starts school, as you will not have to then re-register each year. This releases additional funding called the “Pupil Premium” and this funding is used to provide additional educational support for your child in school. If you are unsure about what you are entitled to apply for, please ask for advice and the office staff will be happy to help.
Packed Lunches
If your child does not want a hot or cold lunch from Aspens you can provide a packed lunch from home. Please make sure the packed lunches are named. Please no sweets, chocolate or anything that needs to be heated.
