School Meals
Hot Lunches
Every day we offer:
- A two course traditional meal
- Light meals
- A vegetarian and ethnic choice
- Special dietary requirements
- A choice of desserts
School Meal Price £1.90 a day / £9.50 per week.
Hot meals are cooked on the premises and served at mid-day in the School Hall. Children are encouraged to eat and try new foods. If a child is not eating over a period of time, you will be informed.
A menu for the following weeks meal choices will be available from the school office every Friday at the end of the school day. For those parents who have registered with school comms a copy of the menu will be emailed to you each Friday afternoon. Alternatively you can view the week's dishes on http://www.myschoollunch.co.uk/surrey (please note that the dishes listed may be served on different days).
If you want to change from hot lunch to packed lunch, or the other way, please give a week’s notice.
All children are supervised at lunchtime by a team of lunchtime supervisors under the direction of the Senior Mid-day Supervisor and the Headteacher.
Goldsworth is a 'Nut Free Zone' which means that no nuts are used in the School Meals. If your child has a food allergy or requires a vegetarian diet, please notify us in writing.
Payment
From September 2008, all school meals should be paid for in advance. We will now only be accepting payments in the following ways:
- HALF TERMLY - All payments are to be made on the first day of the half term before 9am.
or
- WEEKLY - All weekly payments are to be made on each Monday morning before 9am for the week ahead. We will no longer be accepting any payments made during the course of the week or on the day the school dinner is required.
All payments must be placed in a sealed envelope, clearly marked with the following information on the front and handed into your class teacher. Teachers will not be accepting any money that is not in a sealed and clearly marked envelope.
- Full name of your child
- Name of the class
- The amount enclosed in the envelope
- The day or days on which your child will be having a school dinner (weekly or half termly)
Payments may be made by cash, cheques made payable to ‘SURREY COUNTY COUNCIL’ or online via the Surrey County Council website.
If you think your child may be entitled to free school meals (i.e. you receive Income Support), please ask at the office for an application form. Your request will be treated in strict confidence.
Packed Lunches
Should your child wish to have a packed lunch, parents are asked to provide a nutritious packed lunch (in a suitable container) in line with our Healthy Schools status. Please remember we do not allow chocolate in lunch boxes and the school is a NUT FREE school. Drinks brought for lunch must be in a screw-topped plastic container. Please ensure that your child has items that they can open themselves as there are only so many pairs of hands of help at one time! We like to encourage healthy eating and so ask that no sweets or chocolate are sent in.
Goldsworth is a 'Nut Free Zone' which means we do ask that parents do not send anything into School in lunch boxes that contain nuts, ie. peanut butter sandwiches or nuts in muesli bars etc. If your child has a food allergy please notify us in writing.
If you want to change from hot lunch to packed lunch, or the other way, please give a week’s notice.

Snacks
Children in Reception have fruit together before playtime. Parents of the Reception children are asked to bring in 1-2 pieces of fruit every Monday to last the week. In KS1 & KS2, children are allowed to bring in snacks to eat at morning break. These snacks must be small so as not to spoil the child’s appetite for lunch, and infant children should bring them in a small named container. No sweets or chocolate are allowed. The ideal snack is a piece of fruit (oranges should be peeled if the child cannot do it themselves) or vegetable or piece of cheese etc. There is water available from the drinking fountain so drinks from home are not allowed at snack time. During the warmer weather, children are encouraged to bring in water bottles.
