School Meals
We encourage all children to have a healthy and nutritional meal at lunchtime and a snack during morning break. Children are also encouraged to keep hydrated during the school day with water.
Research shows that children who have a nutritionally balanced meal are better able to concentrate in lessons. All meals prepared at Wynstream Primary School comply with the government Standards for school food in England .
A copy of the school menu can be accessed above or from the school office. School meals cost £2.30 per day and must be paid for in advance.

All children in Foundation, year 1 and year 2 at state schools in England automatically get Universal School Meals. However, parents and guardians should still apply for free school meals when they enroll their child in school, as this can help their child’s school to attract additional ‘ pupil premium ’ funding to support learning.
