Our Menu

 

At Caterlink our primary objective is to provide pupils, staff and visitors with a choice of homemade, nutritious and well-balanced meals. All our food is made fresh on-site using quality produce in line with both Food For Life Silver or Gold standards, and the School Food Standards. We have won a number of awards for using honest, local produce, including Compassion in World Farming ‘Good Egg Award’ and ‘Good Chicken Award’ for it’s commitment to source only free range RSPCA assured eggs. We use red tractor meat, MSC sustainably sourced fish products and a range of Fairtrade products. We will deliver a termly three week menu cycle, which will be developed alongside our local teams, development chefs and nutritionist with input from pupils and staff within the schools. We will offer a range of both meat and vegetarian options, as well as a daily salad bar, vegetables and a choice of two fresh breads baked on site. Freshly cut fruit and natural flavoured yoghurt will be available daily as an alternative to our homemade desserts. All our desserts are in line with lower sugar recommendations and all contain less than 6.5g of free sugars per portion. Menus will reflect the requirements and tastes of pupils and staff and will be continually monitored to ensure that menu choices encourage the highest levels of uptake.

Orders must be made by 8.00am

Free School Meals (FSM)

If your child is eligible for free school meals, we want to encourage you to register them.

 

Why register for free school meals?

 

Children who are registered for free school meals don’t have to eat them if you prefer them to have packed lunches.

 

But registering them is still important because for every child registered for free school meals, the school gets more funding from the government.

 

For every pupil registered for free school meals, the school gets an extra £1,050 through ‘pupil premium’ funding.

 

Is my child eligible for free school meals?

 

If you receive these benefits, your child may be eligible:

 

  • Income Support
  • Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance or Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
  • Support under part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
  • The guaranteed element of Pension Credit
  • Child Tax Credit (as long as you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit) if you have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190
  • Working Tax Credit run-on, but not if you receive Working Tax Credit
  • Universal Credit, if your earned income after tax is £616.67 per month (£7,400 per year) or less

 

Any questions please contact the school office on office@eastchurch.school and we will be happy to help.

Note: We reserve the right to change the school meals on occasions when necessary
