Fresh, Home-Cooked Lunches

Lunchtime is a special part of every child’s day at St Christopher’s. Children enjoy freshly prepared, hot and nutritious meals that are lovingly cooked on site each day by our wonderful catering team.

We are proud of our varied and balanced menu, which includes favourites such as a traditional weekly roast, a weekly fish dish and a vegetarian option every day, all served with plenty of salad and vegetables. Each day is finished with a delicious homemade dessert or cake, alongside our fresh fruit corner which children can visit as many times as they like.

We take allergies very seriously and are a nut and sesame seed free school. We also cater for individual allergies and special dietary requirements, including Halal food.

Our dedicated lunchtime team know the children well and create a nurturing, happy dining environment. With gentle guidance, encouragement and a focus on good manners, they help every child feel confident and supported at the table. Lunchtime is not just about enjoying great food – it’s also a chance to socialise together, just like a big family meal.

To celebrate positive behaviour and make lunchtime even more special, we run our popular Lunchtime Superstar initiative. Each week, our kitchen team chooses a child who has shone during lunchtime – whether for excellent manners, kindness to others, trying new foods or simply being a joy to dine with.

Who will be crowned this week’s Lunchtime Superstar?

This weeks lunchtime super stars are Mrs Waite, Mrs Louvatt and Mrs Kouniaki. A huge thank you to all three of you for preparing such wonderful, delicious lunches for everyone each day. Your hard work, care and dedication are so appreciated, especially during this incredibly hot heatwave. We know it’s not easy working in such warm conditions, and we are so grateful for everything you do to keep the children and staff well-fed and happy!
