Catering and School Meals
We are committed to providing healthy, nutritious meals that support children’s wellbeing and concentration throughout the school day. Our catering service offers balanced options to suit a range of tastes and dietary needs.
School Meals
School meals at Lindley Junior School are prepared in-house by our catering team. There are a variety of hot main courses, plus side dishes and vegetables. There are vegetarian options available every day as well as a self-serve salad bar and bread. Hot puddings are available as well as various cold desserts, and fruit and yoghurts are on offer each day. Below is the current weekly menu.
Current School Menu
The weekly menu will be changing from April 2026. Please see below the menu from April onwards. Thank you.
Pricing
From September 2026, the cost of a school meal will be £3.00 a day or £15.00 a week. If your child would like to change from school dinners to packed lunches or vice versa, please inform the school office by letter, email or phone call.
If your child would like packed lunches on certain days and school meals on the other days each week, this can also be set up as long as the days each week are the same. Please contact the school office if you require any further information.
