School Dinners Make Winners

Children, Young People and Families' Catering Service is one of a number of school meals providers for Barnsley's primary, secondary, and special schools, and its behavioural centres. It also manages the milk in schools scheme for primary and special schools.

In some schools, we also provide additional services, such as breakfast clubs and healthy option tuckshops, as well as accommodating requests for function catering for school social events, parents' evenings, governing body and staff meetings.

All pupils and school employees have the option to purchase meals in school should they choose to (£1.70 for two courses), but some pupils, whose parents or guardians receive, for example, income support or income based job seekers allowance, are entitled to school meals free of charge.

Children under five and those entitled to free meals are eligible to receive a free carton of milk each day. For all other pupils wanting milk, we ask for a small contribution (£8) at the start of each term in September, January and April. The scheme is subsidised by the European Union (EU).

What's on offer

With the emphasis on healthy eating and nutrient standards, we offer our primary school pupils a variety of good quality, value for money lunch options. Pupils can choose between a hot traditional meal, a non meat option, a sandwich based meal, which offers a selection of chilled, deli style sandwiches, wraps, salads or pasta pots, or a tasty filled jacket potato, hot pasta and sauce, each of which can be modified to suit the requirements of individual schools.

In the summer months, we supply picnic bags for school trips, or as a main meal alternative. If requested by schools, we will supply a number of morning break options, for example juice, fruit or bread based items.

Again with the emphasis on healthy eating and nutrient based standards (September 2009), we offer secondary school pupils a varied menu of high quality, cost effective meal deals to suit any pocket. The range includes traditional fayre, grab and go deli style sandwiches, wraps, salad shakers, hot pasta and sauce, filled jacket potatoes, paninis, milk bars, salad bars, smoothies and a variety of drinks. Secondary schools are cash cafeterias where meal deals and other items are individually priced.

All our meals cater for the range of diet preferences and all menus meet the government's new food based standards 2006 and nutrient based standards (September 2009).
