School Meals

The school is able to offer families the choice of bringing a packed lunch from home or a hot meal service provided by Dolce. Lunches are eaten in the school hall under the supervision of our lunchtime staff.

Packed Lunches
We ask for packed lunches to be provided in a named lunchbox or bag. As a 'Healthy School', we encourage parents to provide healthy, nutritious packed lunches and ask that they do not send nut products into school.

Hot Meals
The Abbey Primary School uses a catering provider called Dolce. All school meal bookings will need to be placed on your Dolce School Grid account.https://app.schoolgrid.co.uk/ 
Meals can be booked in advance or up until 8.55a.m on the day. 

Each meal consists of a main course (meat, vegetarian, jacket potato options or baguette options), vegetable side dishes, dessert or fresh fruit and fresh drinking water.

Free School Meals
If you are in receipt of certain state benefits, you may qualify for free school meals. Please contact the school office for more information.
