Each day, pupils can choose between having a school meal or bringing a packed lunch from home.
We provide healthy menu options, including hot and cold vegetarian dishes. Children can also select a jacket potato with various fillings or a sandwich. A healthy salad bar is available to complement the meal, along with a home-cooked dessert or a fresh fruit option. We also offer an allergen-friendly menu (see the purple menus below).
Children in Years 3 to 6 can bring a break-time snack to school. To promote healthy eating, these snacks should be fruit, vegetables, a small sandwich or a healthy break bar.
Hermitage is a "Nut Free" school due to the presence of children and adults with allergies. Therefore, no nuts or nut products (such as Nutella or peanut butter) are allowed.
Please see our current menu, which is also attached below for printing at home.

Why Eat Well?
Healthy eating gives children the energy and nutrients they need to grow, develop, and stay active. A nutritious lunch fuels them for learning and play.
