At Polam School we know that a healthy, balanced diet is vital for happy and motivated children.
Meals and snacks are prepared daily on the premises in our dedicated kitchen by our own Head of Catering and staff. The menu is varied throughout the term and children have a choice each day from a number of options, so they will always find something they like. Dietary and religious requirements are catered for.
Encouraging eating independence
With the exception of the younger Nursery children who eat in their classrooms, the children eat together in the Sewell Hall.
Staff provide assistance where required, and encourage the children to use good manners.
The youngest children are served at the table whilst children from Reception age upwards go to the servery where they are able to choose their meal and carry it back, thus encouraging independence
