Click here for the new rolling three-week menu for the second half of the Autumn Term. We have carefully considered the best way of providing school meals in a safe and manageable way, and are pleased to be able to offer a hot choice every day. There is also a vegetarian alternative and a packed lunch option.
We are also pleased to confirm the arrangements for our Christmas Dinner. Click here This will be held on two separate days, with Reception, Year 1 & Year 2 children having their Christmas Dinner on Wednesday 8th December and Year 3 to Year 6 children having theirs on Wednesday 15th December. On the day your child’s class is not having Christmas Dinner, we will only be offering a packed lunch option to those children.
Please also note that the only meal on offer for the classes on their designated Christmas Dinner day will be the Christmas Dinner (or vegetarian alternative). Packed lunches will not be offered alongside the Christmas Meal. Christmas Dinner can be booked online in the usual way.
Our menus are sent via Parent Hub; it is also be available here on the website, together with the allergen information.
School meals should be booked online through SCOPAY, on the online payment site www.scopay.com/stanwaypri-essex. Those parents who are not currently registered for online payments will need to register in order to access the system. If you do require information about the registration process and/or a Link Code, please contact the school office.
The system is very easy to use; once you have logged in and selected your child, you will be able to order meals. You will also be able to make changes to your booked meals, provided you do this in advance. Please see our Guide for Ordering Meals on SCOPAY to help you with getting started.
Thank you for your support. As always, if you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Paying for Meals
For children in Reception – Year 2 meals are free of charge. The cost of a meal for children in KS2 is £2.30. School Meals must be paid for in advance.
Payments made for the full menu period are particularly helpful, but if you prefer you may pay fortnightly or weekly at the beginning of a week. Payment for the meals can be made online at www.scopay.com/stanwaypri-essex. As far as possible, we are encouraging online payments in order to minimise the need for cash and cheques to come into the office.
Food Allergens
Allergen information is available from the office and can also be found in the linked documents below.
