School Meals
At lunchtime pupils can either choose to take a hot school meal or bring their own packed lunch.
Hot meals are cooked at Belton Primary and then transported safely to Wroot via a dedicated food transport van. Menus are designed to provide a balanced and healthy diet and we work closely with the school meal provider and Mrs Hoystead, our cook, to ensure that the menus also reflect pupils' tastes. Special dietry needs can be catered for and parents are encouraged to discuss their child's needs with the kitchen staff who can be contacted through the school office.

School meals currently cost £12.00 per week payable in advance of the meals been taken. Please ensure your child's account is always in credit. School meals can be paid for via ParentPay.
Pupils choosing to bring a packed lunch are encouraged to make healthy choices, sweets, fizzy drinks and other sugary items are discouraged.
