School Lunch

School lunches are freshly cooked in the kitchens by Catering Connect. A balanced and varied diet is offered, with the emphasis on fresh fruit and vegetables, and children are encouraged to try a variety of different foods; a hot vegetarian option is also available. School lunches are included in the cost of the fees.

There are three different lunch sittings:

Reception and Form I 12.00pm

After lunch, the girls play outside for half an hour before recommencing lessons for the afternoon session. As at break-time, they are required to change into plimsolls for the lunch hour.
