Lunches and snacks

Unicorn School is nut-free.

Snacks

A snack made by our chef is given out at morning break and for Early Years and Infants again at afternoon break. Wraparound Care also supply a snack for the children they are looking after. Children who have clubs after school may bring an extra snack for then.

Lunches

Unicorn has a commercial kitchen and we have appointed a well-regarded catering firm, Thomas Franks, to manage our lunch provision. We have a dedicated chef, Chef Sergio, who along with his team produce high quality, home cooked food for lunch.

There is a main dish, with vegetarian option as well as sides, salad bar or pasta option and a dessert and/or fresh fruit for the children to choose from. All allergies and dietary requirements are carefully managed and the kitchen is nut and sesame free.

Lunches are eaten in the school hall and are in separate sittings. A typical weekly menu is as below:

Parent quote about meals

“I love the fact that all the meals are home-made from fresh ingredients. There’s always a varied option and my children eat things they might not have tried before!”
