For just £2.20 per day, pupils receive a main meal, dessert and a cold drink.

Pupils can choose from two tasty hot meal options as well as choices of salad. Nursery pupils have only one option, which is indicated on the primary school menu by an asterisk.

The menus are on a three week rotation. This ensures variety with a focus on fresh fruit, vegetables and salads. Due to our commitment to healthy eating, our ingredients have reduced saturated fat, sugar and salt. All foods are baked or steamed, except chips which are only served once a week. Fresh fruit, wholemeal bread, yoghurt, cheese and biscuits, ice cream, semi-skimmed milk and water are also available daily.

Payment

‘Cashless catering’ gives parents and carers an alternative method of paying for school meals. It means pupils don’t have to take cash into school. Instead, it’s possible to pay through the Bridgend County Borough Council website either via the ‘Pay It’ section (link below).

There are many benefits to children having a school lunch:

1. Meals are fresh, healthy, and nutritionally balanced. In fact, all food meets the Welsh Government’s Healthy Eating in Schools (Nutritional Standards and Regulations) (Wales)
2. Our menus are rich in fruit and vegetables. The Government recommends that we all eat at least five pieces of fruit or vegetables every day, and so a school meal can help keep your children healthy.
3. Convenience. There’s no need to prepare a packed lunch.
4. Boosting children’s brainpower. Studies have shown that children are more receptive in class if they have had a substantial lunchtime meal.
5. Children can learn how to make healthy meal choices.
6. Cafeterias let children relax in a safe, supervised environment with friends.
