School Lunches

Waterside Primary School canteen is run by Hampshire County Council Catering Services (HC3S), the main provider of educational catering within Hampshire. HC3S provides school meals at 445 primary and special schools and 29 secondary schools throughout the county, implementing a Food Court style of service.
To ensure all pupils can have a balanced, hot, 2 course meal every day, HC3S provides a ‘Meal Deal’ for students at the standard meal price of £2.15. There is a choice of meat or non-meat main item every day for the lunch menu.
We expect that parents of children in Key Stage 1 will take up the option of the Universal Infant Free School Meal. This is because we believe that the hot school dinner option is much better for the children’s learning and health. We recognise the evidence that states:
children are better prepared for learning if they eat well
children make more progress if they have eaten the right nutritional lunch
only 1% of packed lunches provide the correct nutrition
eating hot dinners is an important social occasion and the children learn vital social skills
Waterside also offer jacket potato’s with a different filling each day. It will work the same way as the existing menu running over three weeks and there will be a different filling each day to choose from. These fillings will sometimes be vegetarian and sometimes not, vegetarian children will need to be aware when they make their choice. This option will be a blue option in addition to the current red (meat) or green (vegetarian) option. The price is £2.15 for all three options.
Please see the updated Jacket Potato menu below, this will run from April 16th – October 2018.
