School Dinners
Download our latest menu :-
At Burlington Junior School we pride ourselves in supplying our children with excellent food. We feel that it is one of the most important parts of a child’s life – to eat properly.
Eating a healthy diet enables a child to live life to the full and gives them a better performance all round specifically helping with their concentration levels – which in turn affects achievement.
So we encourage all of our children to have a school dinner.
We have a high uptake of school dinners at our school; it’s good to know that our children are getting a well-balanced and healthy school meal.
Every child needs a nutritious and filling meal in the middle of their busy day at school. We offer a delicious range of healthy hot meals, in addition to a range of sandwiches and salads, freshly prepared by our catering staff at a cost of £2.30 per day, which should be sent in a named envelope with your child.
Meals can be paid for on a daily basis or weekly or monthly in advance. Please make sure that money is sent to school in an envelope with the name of your child, the amount enclosed and the dates it covers. Cheques need to be made payable to ‘E.R.Y.C.’
Some children prefer to bring a packed lunch from home. We would remind you that healthy eating is the building block for a healthy life for our children and request that sugary drinks are not sent in and treats are limited.
A list of the food allergens relating to the current menu is available from reception.
