Meals
School meals are prepared and cooked daily by our catering provider, SouthWest Norse, with a choice of hot and cold menus and dietary requirements catered for. The menu is on a 3 week rotation.
School Meals need to be ordered and purchased in advance by midnight on the Saturday a week ahead. Meals cost £2.50 each, payment and meal bookings should be made through the School Gateway.
All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are eligible to receive school meals free of charge thanks to the Universal Infant Free School Meals funding, provided by the government. We urge you to book a meal choice, even if you choose a Home Packed Lunch as meals are cooked to order and not automatically provided
If you have any queries regarding school meals or if you wish to discuss a diagnosed food allergy that your child has, please contact the School Administrator on 01769 580512 or email admin@kingsnympton.devon.sch.uk.
