Lunches

At Hawthorn, we strongly encourage healthy, balanced lunches. Food containing nuts, including chocolate spreads, should not be brought in as we have a number of children with serious nut allergies in school. We also discourage chocolate bars, sweet or fizzy drinks.

All lunches brought into school should be in a secure, named lunch box. Drinks should be in plastic water bottles or cartons with a straw.

From September 2024 Pathfinders have commissioned Kingswood Catering to provide our school meals.  Kingswood has their own website on which parents need to register to order and pay for lunches.  

Please use this link to register your child(ren):  Homepage | Kingswood Catering

See attachments below for instructions on how to register and order your child(ren)'s meals.

Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to free school meals under the Universal Infant Free School Meals scheme. 

Lunches for children in KS2 £2.53 from September 2024 (or free to children entitled to pupil premium/free school meals).

All information is available to download below.

We currently hold a 5* Food Hygiene certificate for our provision of lunches in the Diner.

Snacks

We take part in the National Schools Fruit Scheme which entitles all children aged 4 – 7 to receive free fruit which is provided at morning break time. Therefore, children in years R, 1 and 2 do not need to bring a snack to school. Parents of children in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 (Key Stage 2) should provide a healthy fruit or vegetable snack for their child for morning break time. 

Milk

Children under the age of 5 are entitled to free school milk and after the age of 5 this can be purchased. To register your child please follow the link below:
