The Lunchtime Co provide school lunches for pupils at Windhill21.

The menu is run on a three-weekly rota and the pupils have a choice of either: -

• A meat dish,
• A vegetarian dish,
• A jacket potato or pasta option

In addition, pupils in year 5 and 6 can choose from the Lunchtime Lunchbox menu.  This menu offers a selection of bagels, pasta, baguette or wraps.

All pupils can choose from the extensive salad and dessert tables, including a daily choice of fresh fruit and natural yoghurt pots, served with a selection of healthy toppings.

All food is freshly prepared, sourced locally wherever possible and served by friendly staff in a safe and secure environment.

Alternatively, pupils can bring in a packed lunch from home.

The cost per day for pupils in Nursery, years 3 to 6 is £3.10

Payment for school meals is on-line in advance using the Arbor system.

Pupils in Reception, year 1 and year 2 are entitled to universal free school meals.  In addition, benefit related free school meals are available subject to income level; further information is available from www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/freeschoolmeals

Milk

Our school provides a milk scheme that is available to all of our pupils and we would like to invite you to register your child.  School milk is free for under-5s, and for over-5s it is available at a subsidised price.

Each child that registers with Cool Milk will receive a 189ml portion of semi-skimmed milk every day, delivered fresh and chilled to the classroom.  Their school milk will not only provide them with essential nutrients, but as it is rehydrating and energy boosting it also bridges the gap between breakfast and lunch to help children stay focused. For more information on how milk can benefit children visit www.coolmilk.com/why-milk-is-great.

How to register

If your child is under five:

• Register online at www.coolmilk.com
• Register by a Tuesday at 5pm for your child’s free milk to start the following week
• Free milk will continue until the Friday before your child’s fifth birthday. You will receive a payment request four weeks before their birthday - if you wish your child to continue to receive school milk, simply make a payment

If your child is five or older:

• Register and pay online at www.coolmilk.com
• You can pay Cool Milk either online, over the phone or at a local PayPoint in half-termly, termly or annual instalments.
