The meal is prepared at Thrybergh Comprehensive School and there is a choice of menu for each course, which is on display in the school hall.
Free Dinners
Free meals are available to children according to family income. Please claim for free school meals, if eligible (even if you don’t intend using this facility). The percentage of free school meals does affect the amount of funding we are given as a school as well as extra support such as teaching assistants. So even if your child intends having sandwiches, you will be helping school acquire extra funding and facilities. Application forms for free school meals can be obtained from Mrs Nettleton in the school office and when completed, should be returned to the Education Office directly. No distinction is made in school between children who take a free meal and those who pay.
Provision is made for children who prefer to bring a packed lunch.
