Davington Primary School

Faversham, Kent

School Meals

We now run our own kitchen!  We are fortunate to have wonderful cooking facilities and a great team of cooks.  We can provide cooked meals or a packed lunch on a daily or weekly basis.  School meals cost £2.80 per day or £14.00 per week payable in advance.  Payment for school dinners should be made via Parent Pay, our online payment system, www.parentpay.com. For more details, contact the school office.  Currently, all children in KS1 are entitled to a 'Universal Free School Meal'.  For further information, please contact the school office.

A copy of our three-week menu is available to download (please click on the tabs on the left of this page) and each week's menu and any 'Theme days' we have will be on display in the small cabinet on the main playground.
 

PACKED LUNCHES

As a Healthy School, we encourage all children to eat a healthy, well-balanced diet. Please do not send your child to school with fizzy drinks, food with lots of artificial colouring, sugar or caffeine or very salty foods. We actively discourage packed lunches with lots of chocolate, crisps or pre-packaged food.
 

BREAK TIME SNACKS

Children may bring a plain biscuit, cereal bar or piece of fruit. Please pack these separately from their lunch box. Children in KS2 are able to purchase fruit tokens for The Fruit Café.
