School Meals

Our school canteen provides a healthy, balanced menu, or you can send your child with a balanced, healthy packed lunch. 

A varied menu is offered at lunchtime to suit all pupils. Options of a hot dinner, a vegetarian dinner, jacket potato, sandwich and salad option is available every day. A variety of desserts are also available, including fruit.

Pupils may also bring fruit or vegetables to school for a breaktime snack. Please do not send your child with crisps or chocolate bars for break time.

The menu is offered on a 3-week rota, ensuring that there is always a choice that suits your child's choice and diet. The current menu options are available below as an attachment.

Lunch is currently £2.40 per day and payments can be taken daily, weekly or half-termly to suit your budget needs - please ensure all payments are in an envelope and clearly marked with your child's name, class, date and the amount.

If you require a special diet, please contact the office on 01842 752387 or email office@diamondacademy.org.uk.
