At Our Lady and St Hubert's Catholic Primary School, we are delighted to work in partnership with Alliance in Partnership (AiP), who have been providing our pupils with delicious, nutritious school meals since January 2023.

AiP offers a wide range of meal options to cater for different tastes, preferences and dietary requirements, ensuring every child can enjoy a healthy and satisfying lunch each day. Their carefully planned menus are designed to provide the energy and nutrients children need to support their learning, wellbeing and active lifestyles.

Pupils can choose from a variety of freshly prepared meals, including a hot main course, vegetarian options, jacket potatoes and deli-style choices. All meals meet Government School Food Standards and are developed by nutrition experts to ensure they are balanced, nutritious and appealing to children.

AiP is proud to hold the Food for Life Served Here Award, demonstrating its commitment to using high-quality, fresh and locally sourced ingredients wherever possible. Meals are prepared daily by a dedicated catering team who are passionate about encouraging healthy eating and creating positive dining experiences for children.

Menus operate on a three-week cycle, providing plenty of variety and opportunities for pupils to explore new flavours and foods. AiP recognises that lunchtime is about more than just nutrition; it is also an important social experience. Their approach helps children develop confidence, independence and healthy eating habits that can benefit them for years to come.

We are proud to work alongside AiP to provide a welcoming dining environment where every child can enjoy nutritious food in a friendly, supportive atmosphere.

AiP uses School Food United for meal ordering and payments. Parents and carers can use this platform to manage their child's meals quickly and conveniently. Please find the registration information and guidance below.

If your child qualifies for free school meals, their entitlement will continue until they reach the end of their current phase of education (primary or secondary school). Claiming free school meals could save your family more than £450 per child each year, while also providing additional funding to support our school and enhance opportunities for all pupils.

Please use the link below to check whether your child is eligible. We encourage all parents and carers to take a few moments to apply, even if you are unsure whether you qualify.

Thank you for your support. If you would like any assistance with the application process, please contact the school office, who will be happy to help.
