School Lunches
The aim of Moorfield’s catering staff is to provide good, nutritious and tasty
home-cooked food. Using fresh ingredients and making all our meals on site ensures
that we know exactly what is in the food we serve at lunchtime. We want our food to
look and taste good and to appeal to young children, not to be full of additives,
fat and extra salt.
We want the children to enjoy food at Moorfield and to look forward to lunchtime.
We know that they do, by the comments we receive from them. The School Council
devotes a meeting each term to commenting constructively on the school menu and
to offer new ideas. Girls make their choices in advance to ensure that there is
plenty of their favourite food available. Every day there is a meat or vegetarian
option as well as a baked potato to choose from. Puddings are a treat and Mrs
Glover’s Chocolate Square is legendary! Fruit is always on offer and many children
enjoy the cheese and biscuits option.
Children of different ages sit at tables of eight. Grace is said or sung every
day and birthdays are celebrated. Lunchtime is a happy time where the children
chatter while they eat. They learn table manners and are encouraged to eat a good
meal and try new things. They then help to clear the tables and chairs before
heading out to play or a lunchtime club.
A sample menu is shown below.
This week’s menu can be found on the back of the current weekly update.
