School Meals and Lunchtime
​​                     Healthy food, healthy minds, ready to learn
​
Lunchtime at Elloughton is an important part of the school day where children enjoy healthy meals, develop independence and share positive social experiences with their friends and school staff.

Eating a healthy, balanced diet plays an important role in children’s wellbeing and learning. Healthy food supports concentration, energy levels and overall achievement in school.

We encourage all of our children to enjoy a school dinner. Our menu offers a wide variety of options to suit different tastes and dietary needs.
