School Lunches
At Moorlands we believe in giving children a choice and recognise that the eating habits of our youngest pupils are different from those of our oldest.
Every day we offer a choice of
Two hot meals,
- Pasta with a sauce for Foundation and Pre-prep pupils,
- Jacket potatoes for Upper School pupils,
- A fully stocked salad bar, and
- A selection of sandwiches.
For dessert there is:
A daily special and a chilled dessert bar, otherwise known as the treat counter.
The daily specials are on a three week rolling menu, samples of which are given below:
