School Meals
At St John's , we use 'Dolce' to provide our school meal service. Cooked meals, including a vegetarian option are prepared daily in our kitchen and often include pasta, salad , fresh fruit and yoghurt. Dolce use a computerised system called ‘Live Kitchen’ which enables parents/carers to log in and view menu choices and nutritional values. It also allows you to order meals in advance at home with your child.
The menus rotate on a 3 weekly basis and here is an example of what is available.
The price for a school dinner is £2.54 per day and all payments need to be made via your 'Live Kitchen' account either by direct debit or credit or debit card.
If you would like any more information about school dinners please talk to the office staff on 0161 338 5821.

It is really important to register your child for a free school meal even if they are receiving a free meal already as part of the Universal Infant Free School Meals or if they are an older child but has packed lunches. This is so the school can receive additional funding called Pupil Premium which we can use to help your child while they are at St John's. You can find more information on The Pupil Premium here.
You no longer need to contact the Local Authority to apply for Free School Meals, just click on the link below to see if you are eligible or complete a 'free school meal registration form' available from the school office.
