School Meal Nutritional Information

 

School dinners can be provided for your children. Our Trust catering provider, Voyage Education Kitchen, provides an extensive menu for you to order from. There are hot and cold choices available each day. 

The Menu and meals can be ordered on the Parent Pay App. 

All children up to the end of year two (Aged 7) can receive free school meals. These meals are paid for by the Government. Parents need to complete the menu order form on Parent Pay but no charge will be made. 

Some children will be granted free school meals for the duration of their time at Staniland Academy. This is means tested. Lincolnshire county Council process the applications for free school meals. See Web link below.

At our academy we use a dedicated system to help parents and carers make more informed dining choices for their children.

Saffron shows parents and carers full menu* and allergen information, and allows them to search for a particular dish – with everything grouped by day and week according to what will be served at our academy.

This helps us to continue to put the health and wellbeing of our pupils first while increasing the transparency of the school meals we serve.

Quantity information the Saffron system provides for each menu item includes:

Energy
Fat
Saturates
Sugars
Salts

Totals also each come with a colour, similar to a traffic light system, denoting low, medium or high levels for each meal.

Allergen information given for each menu item also cross references what that item contains, or may contain, and includes:
Gluten
Eggs
Peanuts
Soya
Milk
Nuts
Sesame Seeds
Lupin

Further details are provided for types of the above where appropriate too, such as wheat, oats, (almonds deleted as we are nut free), etc. Various search filters can also be applied including searches for Vegan, Vegetarian and Halal.

We hope this system proves useful to you, giving you ‘at-a-glance’ information to support the meal choices you make for your child or children.
