At Ashcombe we run our own kitchen and hold healthy school status. All our meals are nutritionally balanced and comply with the national standards for school meals. Our kitchen manager Sheila Hale uses fresh quality ingredients from local suppliers and prepares the meals daily allowing the food to be served to the highest standard.
A healthy and balanced lunch, (whether school hot meals or packed lunch), helps your child maintain focus concentration and energy throughout the school day.
The cost of each school meal is £2.10, money for meals should be paid for weekly, monthly or termly in advance via your child's class teacher. Money should be in a sealed envelope labelled with your child's name and class, please also label the envelope 'School Dinners'.
Each day, your child will need to pick from the Red, Green or Blue menu and will be issued with a wristband to show to the kitchen when they queue up for their dinner. This is to minimise the amount of food that is wasted.
All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 will receive their school meals free of charge. Please click here for more information on free school dinners, including how to apply for a free school dinner if your child is in a different year group.

Children may bring a packed lunch if parents prefer. Please make sure these are provided in appropriate containers and clearly marked with your child’s name. We actively encourage a healthy packed lunch (either everyday or on school trips).
A typical balanced lunch box should contain:
