Lunches
We are delighted that we will be able to continue to provide hot meals at Sambourne School. The menus will be based on a three week rolling menu. You will see on the menus, that each day there is a hot main course served with vegetables and also a pudding. We also serve mixed salad, fresh fruit, yoghurts, skimmed milk and water each day.
All children in Key Stage 1 and those children eligible for free school meals in Key Stage 2 will be provided with a hot meal every day. Children in Key Stage 2 are also able to purchase hot meals at £2.95 per day. Please order and pay via ParentPay by the Thursday of the week before.
