We are very proud of our dining facilities here at Ludworth Primary School. We have a separate dining hall that we have recently refurbished to make it an attractive environment for our children to have their lunch in. 

We work closely with our school meal provider, 'Chartwells', to ensure that the food on offer is what we know most of our children enjoy. To enhance their experience, children are not expected to choose food weeks in advance; they choose what they want on the day. There is always an alternative choice in case children cannot get what they initially wanted. Our lunchtime supervisors run a fair system so that children have the opportunity to choose first on a regular basis.

Medical Diets

We know that feeding children with food allergies or intolerance can cause a lot of anxiety for both parents and schools. That’s why Chartwells have implemented a market-leading allergens process, and make sure every step is taken to ensure that our students can enjoy school meals safely with their friends.

Packed Lunches

Some children prefer to bring a packed lunch into school. This is eaten in the dining hall with the rest of the children. We have a healthy school packed lunch policy that we ask parents and carers to stick to:

• Packed lunches should include a healthy balance of the main food groups
• Fizzy drinks are not permitted
• Fruit is encouraged instead of sugary snacks
• A cake bar is permitted
• No sweets or chocolate permitted
• If you pack a yoghurt, please provide a spoon

Please see our packed lunch policy at the foot of this page, alongside a guidance chart to support healthy packed lunches.
