School Lunches

School lunches for pupils attending St Wilfrid’s Catholic Primary School are provided by Go! Catering.  With use of a local, dedicated industrial kitchen, Go! Catering provide lunches that are freshly prepared and cooked on daily basis.

Producing over 500,000 children’s meals across the last 9 years has helped the Go! Catering team to gain a clear understanding of children’s and parents’ expectations when it comes to providing high quality, healthy school lunches.

What makes up a school lunch?

A substantial and healthy main meal (such as a roast dinner, pasta bolognaise or curry dish), with access to fresh salad items as a complement.  This is followed by a daily dessert (such as flapjack, cake or mousse).

Every child registered for school lunches will receive a meal based on their individual dietary requirements (including allergies or intolerances) with a vegetarian alternative provided daily.

How much do school lunches cost?

For children in Key Stage 1 (Reception, Year 1 & Year 2) – school lunches are entirely free of charge, due to funding via the government’s Universal Infant Free School Meals (UIFSM) scheme.

For children in Key Stage 2 (Years 3 to 6) – school lunches can be paid for directly to Go Catering. Alternatively, you may qualify for Free School Meals. Please find out more information here 

Packed Lunches

If your child prefers a packed lunch they can bring this into school with them. Packed lunches must be entirely nut free and should not contain sweets or chocolate. 

No nuts in school

Children should not bring any products containing nuts into school under any circumstances. Any foods containing nuts will be confiscated immediately. 

This includes, but is not limited to, foods such as nutella, cashews, curry sauces containing nuts, peanut sauces, sesame, pistachios, sesame oil, peanut butter sandwiches, cereal bars containing nuts, pesto or any whole nut products.

We have children in school with severe nut allergies.

Water bottle

All children should bring a named,  refillable water bottle into school each day. Squash or fizzy drinks should not be drunk in school-water only please.
