Lunch and Snacks

At school we get healthy food to help us grow strong and concentrate when we're learning.

All the children at Butcombe receive a healthy snack mid-morning and fresh fruit is available on most days as well as bread and butter or a biscuit, which is offered with either milk or water. In our experience, children’s concentration levels drop during the morning and often a drink and something to eat enables them to cope until lunch time! Snacks are also available during the afternoon.

Butcombe has recently been praised by dietician, Lorraine Morris, for its healthy variety of choices available to the children for lunch. A hot meal and a vegetarian option is available every day. Jacket potatoes are a daily option and there is also a salad bar with assorted cold meats, tuna and cheese. Our puddings are always popular with a choice each day. On the tables, we provide unlimited supplies of fresh fruit, carrot sticks, cucumber and cherry tomatoes for the children to help themselves.
