Healthy Food, Happy Lunchtimes
At Whitkirk Primary School, we believe that lunchtime is an important part of the school day. It provides children with an opportunity to enjoy nutritious food, develop independence, build friendships and recharge for an afternoon of learning.
We are proud to work with our catering provider, Hutchinson, to offer fresh, healthy and appealing school meals. Our menus provide a variety of choices, including a meat-free day within each menu cycle.
We want every child to enjoy a positive lunchtime experience, whether they choose a school meal or bring a packed lunch from home.
What's on the Menu?
Our school meals follow a three-week rotating menu, giving children a variety of nutritious and appealing choices.
Families can explore the menus together and discuss meal choices before coming to school.
Menus may occasionally change at short notice due to circumstances beyond our control.
Free School Meals
All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a free school meal through the Universal Infant Free School Meals scheme.
From September 2026, eligibility for benefits-related Free School Meals has expanded to include all children from households receiving Universal Credit.
We encourage families to check their eligibility, even if their child usually brings a packed lunch or already receives a free meal in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2.
