School Meals
At Broadoak, we encourage children to enjoy a healthy school lunch and, in line with current government policy, all children in Reception and KS1 are entitled to a Universal Infant Free School Meal.
Due to Nursery being non statutory, Nursery children can enjoy a healthy lunch at the cost of £2.50 per day.
Some children may also be entitled to a free school meal. Parents/ Carers need to apply for this via the local council - click here for further information.
At Broadoak, we are committed to regularly reviewing all provision in school to ensure that the children receive the highest standard in all areas. As a result of reviewing our catering provision, we have welcomed Dolce, an independent, specialist school meal provider, to Broadoak.
Dolce already work successfully across many schools and foster a commitment to home-cooked food made from seasonal, fresh and sustainable ingredients. They will provide a three weekly rotational menu that will be updated on a termly basis. They also provide a portal for parents that allows access to meal selection from home, allowing parents to be included in their child’s meal choices. Meal costs will see an increase of 10p to £2.50, however we are confident that this increase will reflect in the quality of meals on offer to the children.
Please see a copy of the termly menu below. Please note, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 lunch costs will remain to be free, under the Universal Infant Free School Meals funding programme. Nursery children will be introduced to a meal option for the first time.
To order children's meals on line, parents will need to create a login for the Dolce meal choice / payment APP -School Grid. This platform also requires parents to input information regarding allergies etc.
In order to ensure a smooth transition, we would ask parents to view the weekly newsletter for updates and respond promptly to any actions required.
Dolce are committed to delivering a high standard of food to the school and are looking forward to inviting parents into school for ‘taster days’ in due course.
