To make lunchtime even more appealing and easier we have a special way of doing things.
Every morning your child will choose their meal and be given a colour-coded wristband.
- Green – Green Earth Monday
- Red – Main Meal option
- Blue – Halal option
- Yellow – Sandwich / Jacket potatoe
Dinner staff will then use the wristband to provide the correct meal.
