# Food in School

## Food in School

We provide healthy meals each day for our students using Caterlink caterers.  We use fresh produce and provide a balanced, nutritious diet in line with government policy.

Students can pre-order meals on a daily basis to ensure they receive the meal of their choice. Special diets can be catered for and students can also bring in packed lunches if they prefer. A fridge is available for storing packed lunches so that everything keeps fresh.

Dinners can be purchased through Walton Hall Academy Arbor Pay Parent Portal [Log in to your School \| Arbor](https://login.arbor.sc/). Dinners cost £2.60 per day.

Some families are eligible for free school meals. To meet the criteria, the person with parental responsibility must be in receipt of any of the following benefits: income support, income based job seekers allowance, Child Tax Credit **WITHOUT** the inclusion of Working Tax Credit and an annual income of less than £16,190.

### Healthy Snacks and Drinks

Students at Walton Hall Academy are allowed to bring in a healthy snack or drink to enjoy at break times.

Sweets, chocolates and fizzy drinks are not permitted in school.

**IMPORTANT**

Due to some students having nut allergies in school, please do not allow your child to bring nut products in the packed lunch or snacks.
