⚽ Big Kick-Off Celebration Lunch – Thursday 11 June ⚽️

Dear Parents and Carers,

We're excited to announce a special change to our school menu to celebrate the opening match of the World Cup 2026!

To mark this exciting sporting event, we will be hosting a Big Kick-Off Celebration Lunch on Thursday 11 June. Our kitchen team has created a fantastic football-themed menu featuring:

'Stadium Chicken Sausages' Hot Dogs

'Champion' Cheese & Leek Parcel

'Half-Time' Jacket Potatoes with 'Back of the Net' Baked Beans, Cheese or Tuna

'Super Sub' Jacket Wedges

'Yellow Card' Sweetcorn

'In The Box' Garlic & Herb Focaccia Style Bread

'The Squad's Selection' Salad Bar

'Final Whistle' Chocolate Shortbread

⬇️Win a football!⬇️
During our 'Big Kick-Off' celebration, there will be 7 footballs to be won! Order a school meal on Thursday 11 June and your child will be in with a chance of finding a lucky sticker under their plate and winning a football, whilst enjoying a delicious meal.

If your child doesn't usually have a school meal, this is a perfect opportunity to experience the tasty, nutritious food we serve every day. It's a fun way to join in the World Cup excitement with their friends! Just log in to ScoPay to order your meal before 8am on Thursday.

We look forward to celebrating with the children on Thursday 11 June!
