Meals and Snacks

All children stay at school for lunch. If you wish your child to go home, please contact the office so that arrangements can be made for them to sign in and out.

We promote a healthy lifestyle whenever possible. For morning break we encourage children to bring healthy fresh fruit to school. We do not allow crisps, biscuits or chocolate at morning break.

Your child can have a school lunch or bring a packed lunch from home.

School meals cost £2.80 a day. 

after the Easter holiday, we will be moving to a new catering company, Mellors and that we are really excited about the move. We are now able to share our new opening menu with you, which will start from the first day back at school—Tuesday 22nd April. There will be no price changes.

Please click here to view our opening menu.

Information regarding ingredients and allergens will be published shortly.

Please remember that dinners must be paid for in advance and we are operating a cashless system. Please contact Mrs Wagstaff (cwagstaff@gaytonj.derby.sch.uk) in the school office if you do not currently access your School Money online account to pay dinner money and she can send log in details to you.

Packed lunches should be brought to school in a named lunch box or bag, preferably insulated or with a coolant, as we do not have cold storage facilities.
