Breakfast Menu
Our school meals provider Chartwells are a privately owned catering company under the Compass Group umbrella who cater exclusively for school meals.
Chartwells use fresh, high quality and locally sourced ingredients that the children enjoy. Every day there will be a hot meal, tomato pasta, jacket potato and salad bar and all the meals are homemade and cooked on site daily. There are also halal meat options on certain days and freshly baked bread provided every day.
All children, who are in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2, will still be entitled to receive a daily free school meal. For children in Year 3, 4, 5 and 6, the price of a school dinner is £2.45 per day
Alternatively children may bring their own packed lunch to school and are encouraged to provide food in line with our healthy eating aims. Please remember we are a nut free school.
Fruit is provided daily for all Reception and Key Stage 1 pupils and is eaten with a drink at playtime in the morning.
Water can be brought into school each day.

Pupils’ School Milk
School age children up to their 5th birthday are entitled to free milk, but we are able to offer fresh milk daily to children at Beacon Rise Primary school through a scheme set up jointly by the Local Education Authority, and School Milk Services Limited. The milk is subsidised in part from EC funding and is available to all children aged from five to eleven years.
You would pay just £1.70 a week for your child to receive 200ml carton of semi-skimmed milk at the morning break period. The method of payment for this scheme is in advance direct to School Milk Services, by cheque, postal order (made payable to School Milk Services Ltd) or credit card payment.
More information is available from the school office
