School LunchES
Banding scheme
In order to give parents more involvement in the selection of their child’s school meal, and to assist the catering staff serving the children in the dining room, we have introduced a banding system. We run a two weekly menu from which the children can select their meal choice on each of the 10 days (please see below). This allows parents/carers to know what their child is eating each day and enables the catering staff to prepare the correct number of meals and assists them when serving the lunches.
At lunchtime the children are then given a coloured band according to their meal selection. The bands are collected from the children at lunchtime and washed before being distributed the following day.
In addition there are a number of themed lunches throughout the year of which you will be notified.
If your child wishes to change from dinners to packed lunches or vice-versa, please contact the school office on 0113 8878235 info@fountainprimary.org
Milk
Milk is provided daily free of charge to all children under the age of 5. Once a child reaches their fifth birthday parents may apply online to have this continued for a small cost. You can download the form and send directly to Cool Milk.
Free School Meals
Please note that some children in Reception and Key Stage 1, who receive a free meal under the Universal Free School Meal Scheme, may also be qualify for a free meal under the Free School Meal Scheme.
