1. The school meals here at Tuxford Primary Academy are provided by Chartwells
A range of main meals and desserts are on offer daily
All of our school meals are developed in line with The School Food Standards
Chartwells cater for children with allergies and intolerances
Lunch time is a positive time for social interaction and trying new foods
School lunches mean children become more adventurous and we see a positive impact on fussy eaters
Classes with a higher percentage of children eating school lunches see a calmer afternoon with more focus and better behaviour

2. Are you familiar with Universal Infant Free School Meals?
Universal Infant Free School Meals means that if you have a child in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 in England, your child is entitled to enjoy a school meal every day for free!
Money saving!
For Reception Class and KS1 parents it’s easy to work out how much money you will save by not having to buy and make up packed lunches every day - on average the saving is £400 through the school year!
Packed lunches vs School Lunches
The School Food plan reported that only 1% of packed lunches meet the same food based standards as school meals
Fuelling their mind!
Our school meals are nutritionally balanced which help fuel both
their body and mind for learning in the afternoon.

3. It’s all part of feeding both your children and their imaginations
Introducing the Food Super Heroes
In 2014 we asked over 25,000 children to help us choose a brand new range of characters for our menus
The overwhelming favourites were our Food Super Heroes
Each character has its own special powers and all are ready to make school mealtimes more exciting
The cast of colourful characters will really come to life at lunchtime, Food Super Heroes will feature on the menus, activity based place mats and stickers for the children
It’s all part of feeding both your children and their imaginations
