School Dinners
At Rosherville, our school meals are provided by Aspens, with all meals freshly prepared onsite in our own kitchen. Our Kitchen Manager will oversee the day-to-day running of the kitchen, ensuring children enjoy high-quality, nutritious meals with plenty of choice.
Our menu will be refreshed every term with a three week rota and will include a variety of healthy, balanced options to suit all tastes and dietary requirements.
Each school meal will cost £2.66 per child, per day. All children in KS1 are eligible for universal infant-free school meals. If a child is entitled to free school meals in KS2, then they will receive a free school dinner.
For more information about Free School Meals and applying for them please visit the Kent Government website here.
A copy of the new school dinner menu will be available in the School Office and on this page below.
Healthy School Meals
We are proud to work in partnership with parents to encourage the children to understand what healthy eating means and how it can be achieved through school meals. We ask that parents support the school to help the children establish good eating habits, by providing a ‘balanced’ and ‘nutritious’ packed lunch. To promote healthy eating, the children are taught about a balanced diet and why it’s important that we locally source ingredients, during PSHE. We have had home learning challenges to design and make a healthy meal and also had children and parent cooking workshops.
Allergies
When your child starts at Rosherville Academy, we will ask you to complete a medical form to identify any medical needs, allergies, intolerances, or dietary requirements your child may have, to ensure we provide the best care to all of our children. In all classes and in the school kitchen, we have posters displayed with photos of any children with any allergies, intolerances, or dietary requirements so all staff are aware as an extra precaution at lunchtime these children are given coloured wristbands so they are easily identifiable. We are a no-nut school. Please ensure your child does not bring anything to school which contains nuts, this includes Nutella chocolate spread.
