It is very important for all young people to eat a healthy, balanced diet and Kirklees Catering Service takes this responsibility very seriously. Here are some facts about our service and the meals we offer in school:

• Schools serve a nutritious and tasty two course meal, freshly prepared on site at a set price of £2.00 each day.

• Every menu is tailored to each individual school after consulting with our customers (you, your children and their teachers).

• All menus are planned in line with the Government’s School Food Standards.

• We cater for Vegetarian, Halal and special diets. (If your child has a special dietary requirement or an allergy to any foods please inform the Head Teacher at their school, who will liaise with the kitchen supervisor to ensure your child’s needs are met).

• Our service holds the prestigious Food for Life Silver Catering Mark Award. This means all our menus include a minimum of 75% freshly prepared dishes using local, seasonal and organic produce. We use free range eggs, farm assured meat, sustainable fish and ensure all food used is free from undesirable additives and preservatives .

• Primary schools have regular visits from our mascot, Munch the School Meals Dragon. Munch promotes healthy foods and educates children about healthy eating and lifestyles.

• We hold themed events, linked to what’s happening in and out of school which make lunchtime educational and fun.

• Research has shown that children concentrate much better if they have eaten a healthy, balanced meal at lunchtime, which can support your child’s learning in school.

• To find out more about school meals and view your child’s school menu on line go to: www.kirklees.gov.uk/schoolmeals

• All children in Reception and Years 1 and 2 are currently entitled to free school meals. If you’re on a low income and receive certain benefits you may be eligible for additional support such as free milk and free school meals for children not in reception or years 1 and 2. To find out more call 01484 221928. All eligible parents should apply as it gives your child extra support and helps their school.
