School Meals

School Lunches

Children may bring a packed lunch and drink to eat in our dining hall. We ask parents to pack this in a plastic box, clearly marked with the child’s name. As with most schools, we do have some children at Morley with nut allergies. An allergic reaction for these children can prove to be very dangerous. In support of them, therefore, we ask that packed lunches or snacks do not contain nuts or peanuts (including peanut butter).

Lunch Menu

School dinners are provided by our catering company, Aspens. Meals are prepared and cooked on the premises and children are able to choose from a varied menu, including items for special diets. We operate a three week menu system, with a different weekly menu being offered over the 3 week period.

Please contact the school office for details on how to register for school meals.

Meals must be ordered in advance using the Swift Kitchen Select Parent Portal . You can order your child’s meals daily, weekly or even half termly but it must be done in advance via the portal.
