Breakfast and Lunch

Free breakfast for every child

We believe that children learn best when all of their basic needs are met, we offer a free breakfast for every child from 8.35am. This is also a lovely social time for children when they can sit and talk with their teachers and friends or read a book whilst enjoying toast or a bagel. We find this routine to be a calming and settled start to the day. 

Lunch menus

Our lunchtimes are slightly staggered, which allows for smaller groups in the hall and creates a calmer, more relaxed environment for our children. This is particularly beneficial for pupils with sensory needs, helping them enjoy a more comfortable and positive mealtime experience. 

Safer Eating & Healthy Choices 

At Grove Street, we are committed to the health and safety of all our pupils. In line with the new Safer Eating guidelines in England (2025), we have reviewed and updated our lunchtime routines and procedures. This includes promoting safe eating practices, ensuring food is prepared and served appropriately, and providing supervision to support children as they eat. Children are encouraged to bring healthy snacks and food and are guided to develop good habits, such as sitting while eating and taking their time during meals. Staff are trained to recognise and respond to choking hazards and other risks, helping to create a safe, calm, and positive mealtime environment for all our pupils.
