Lunchtimes

At Venn, we’re proud to provide a school meals service that’s inclusive, sustainable, and designed around our pupils.

All school meals are booked and paid for through the School Grid app, making it simple and convenient for parents to manage daily meal choices and payments in one place.

Our service offers:

Good quality, inclusive food – with options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan and halal diets, all in a nut-free environment.

Menus chosen by pupils – children help shape what’s on offer, making lunchtime more enjoyable and engaging.

Freshly prepared meals every day – made using a pre-order system that reduces food waste and ensures every dish is freshly cooked and tasty.

Great value for families – each healthy, nutritious meal is just £1.70, no matter which Venn school your child attends.

Our approach to school catering focuses on minimal food waste, exceptional value for money, and a positive lunchtime experience for all.

A school meal is available at a cost of £1.70 (£8.50 per week).

Our school uses SchoolGrid, an easy-to-use online system that allows parents to view menus, order meals in advance, and make payments securely.

Set Time

Our commitment to preparing children for the real world extends beyond the four walls of the classroom. Part of this is our daily dedicated Social Etiquette Training time, or SET.

Children are taught the skills needed for life in public including table manners, patience, hand hygiene and making healthy food choices through encouragement and following the lead of the classroom staff. It is important that as a valuable member of their class each child feels like they belong at the dinner table and they see any meal – whether breakfast, lunch or dinner – as an opportunity to connect with the other people in their life.

This all forms our view of the school as a community where the children are the caring and thoughtful citizens preparing to participate in society.
