We are delighted to be able to confirm that students will be able to eat hot lunches from our kitchen starting from tomorrow Thursday 23rd September.
Tomorrow is a week 1 Thursday on the weekly schedule:
Lunch will be priced at ยฃ2.50 per day. We are setting up parent-pay and should have the facility for you to make payment early next week – and the charge would include any meals taken this week too.
It is important to note that there will be no charge for families eligible for free school meals. We have an updated list of families from the Local Authority, however if you think you may now be eligible and would like to apply, here is the link to the Local Authority page where you check your eligibility.
Each morning as part of our crew protocol, we will ask students whether they need a hot meal from us, and encourage as many families as possible to take up this offer.
Dietary requirements
Gateshead Local Authority kitchens do not use Halal meat, however there is always a vegetarian option.
Please complete this Google Form if you need to let us know of any special dietary requirements that your son or daughter has, so that the kitchen staff can make sure that we can meet their needs each day.
Information about Gateshead’s offer around dietary needs can be found here. A guide for parents can be found here.
