Lunch Menus

Summer Menu 2025

Please see the Summer menu below, which will take effect from Tuesday 22nd April 2025.

Winter Menu 2024

Please can you sit down with your child and take a look at our menu. We want our lunch times to be a positive experience for our pupils and on occasion, some of our pupils become upset as they don’t like the food on the menu.  There may be a day your child would prefer to have a packed lunch.

Packed Lunches

A friendly reminder that we are a NUT FREE school. We do have children in our school with severe life-threatening nut allergies and we must reiterate the importance of not placing any items containing nuts in your child’s packed lunch.

Chocolate Bars

Please note, only 1 small, NUT FREE ‘fun sized’ chocolate bar is allowed in school.  

We are working towards our Healthy Schools status. 

In many schools, chocolate is not allowed, we would like to make a compromise by allowing a small amount of chocolate in our lunches. 

Therefore, only 1 small, NUT FREE ‘fun sized’ chocolate bar will be allowed on a Friday.

We call this “Fun sized Friday”. 

Any larger bars of chocolate will not be permitted and will return home in the lunch box.

Please may we remind all parents and carers that Kingsmoor is a nut free school.

We have children in school who suffer from nut allergies and therefore, in order to keep them safe there must be no nut products brought into school.

Please check all items put into lunch boxes for nut allergy advice.

Thank you.

Kingsmoor School lunches are provided by our in-house catering team.

Cooking using the best quality ingredients entirely from scratch each day is a real priority for us.  Our staff work very hard to cook child friendly meals and also to encourage your child to eat and enjoy them.  Our menus offer wholesome and warming food, with a selection of seasonal vegetables available.

Your child’s health is important to us because we understand that lunch can play an important role in their overall health and in helping to nurture balanced eating habits.  The menu focuses on using nutrient rich food to ensure that we meet the Government’s food and nutrition based standards for school food (for more information you may wish to visit the Children’s Food Trust website).

A new menu has been introduced notifying parents that certain products which contain Coconut Oil as an ingredient will now be available. As Coconut is not classed as a tree nut, Kingsmoor Lower School's Nut Free Policy is still in place. However, if you think this may affect your child, please contact the school catering team on 01525 712448 or email cchapman@kingsmoorschool.co.uk.

School lunches cost £2.65. 

Lunches can be booked and paid for via the Weduc Payments System, ParentPay.

Cheques should be payable to:   Kingsmoor Lower School

All money / cheques should be sent to school in a named envelope or purse to the class teacher each Monday morning.

The Kitchen Manager is Mrs Charlene Chapman
