Lunch Menu
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.
Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a free school meal every day under the government’s Universal Infant Free School Meals scheme.
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) for years 3-6.
Our school uses SchoolGrid, an easy-to-use online system that allows parents to view menus, order meals in advance, and make payments securely.
With SchoolGrid, you can:
- See daily menus with full ingredient and allergy information.
- Order or cancel meals quickly from any device.
- Pay conveniently using card, Direct Debit or cash, with options to set up automatic payments so you never need to top up.
- Access clear nutritional and allergen details, giving peace of mind for children with specific dietary needs.
SchoolGrid also collects helpful feedback from families and pupils to ensure our catering team continues to provide healthy, inclusive and enjoyable meals for all children.
PLEASE register for Free School Meals
If you think you may be entitled to Free School Meals, please register your child. If you register the school can claim this additional funding (Pupil Premium) to support your child’s work in school. Even if your child does not always have a school meal, it is important to register.
The process for applying for Free School Meals is quick and easy and could mean that the school will get extra funding!
