If your child has school dinners they should be paid for during the same week via the School Gateway. School dinners are £2.50 per day/£12.50 per week.

If you are unable to pay on time please contact the school.

Holy Rood Catholic Primary School does not process any biometric data.

Packed Lunch

Packed lunches should be brought to school each day and placed on the lunch trolley. Hot meals in thermos flasks are not permitted in school.

We have children and adults in school with nut and kiwi allergies. Please do not send packed lunches into school containing either of these and bear this in mind when sending food for trips or birthdays.

As we are a healthy school, please do not send items in lunch boxes which have limited nutritional value such as fizzy drinks, chocolates or sweets. Fizzy drinks are also prone to spray over other children on opening.

All wrappers/leftovers will be returned home in lunch boxes to inform parents of amount eaten/uneaten.

Water bottles

Plastic water bottles may be brought to school to re-hydrate during lesson time and can be filled from the school water taps. For safety reasons, glass bottles or cans of drink must not be brought to school.  School water bottles can be ordered through the gateway app and taken to your child in class once they have been paid for.

Bagels for ALL Children - Every day!

Holy Rood is proud to be in partnership with Magic Breakfast, providing healthy breakfasts to our pupils so that they are settled and ready to learn.

Magic Breakfast provides Holy Rood with nutritious breakfast food to ensure children start their school day in the best possible way. Breakfast gives children the energy needed for the busy school morning, enabling them to focus on their lessons.

The bagels are served in the classroom, offering every child great fuel for learning.

Research has shown that children who have a healthy breakfast achieve more at school – make sure your child doesn’t miss out!
