School lunches

Culloden Primary Academy provides a varied and nutritious menu for our pupils to enjoy.

Meals are provided by Lunchtime Co, a caterer that prepares its menus carefully, following the School Food Standards Guidance in combination with the nutrition criteria of the Government Buying Standards for Food and Catering Services. Variety is a key consideration in what they create, so different fruits, vegetables, grains, pulses, meat and fish are incorporated across the week, to serve food that looks good and tastes good too.

We cater for pupils with a range of food allergies. Pupils with food allergies wear a lanyard at lunchtime so that all staff including the catering team are aware of their allergies.

Children also have the option of bringing in a healthy packed lunch. We are a nut-free school and the only drink permitted is water.
