We have dedicated and caring lunchtime staff and several have been at St Paul's for many years.

School dinners are provided by Caterlink Food Services. The menus are given to parents in advance and work in a three-week rotation. The children are able to choose their meal from a wide selection.

We hold a Healthy School status. Therefore, if your child is having a packed lunch, please make it as healthy as possible. Sweets and fizzy drinks are not allowed.

We have a First Aider on duty throughout the day.

Drop off and Collection

At the beginning and the end of the school day, parents are asked to drop off and collect their children at either the KS1 or KS2 gate. If normal arrangements need to be changed, e.g you are running late or another person is collecting your child, please let the teacher or the office know. This avoids any confusion or upset, especially for the younger children.

If you need a longer conversation with the teacher, please make an appointment with them or via the front office. They are more than happy to meet parents.
