School Meals
From September 2026, Normandy Village School's lunchtime catering will be provided by Edwards and Ward.
All school lunches are cooked on the premises at Normandy Village School. There is a wide variety of delicious and nutritious dishes served each day, representing very good value for money.
School lunches must be paid for in advance through the My Child At School (MCAS) App, where you can also make meal choices from the menu. Bookings on the app must be made by midnight the day before or children can choose in class on the day, except for special events where a deadline for booking will be advised by the school. Absences will, of course, be credited.
If you think you qualify for free school meals, please get in touch with the School Office.
The cost of a school lunch is currently: £2.95.
Free School Meals
Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 receive Universal Free School Meals (UFSM) funded by the Government.
In addition, pupils may be entitled to Free School Meals (FSM) and Pupil Premium if their family is in receipt of certain benefits. More information and how to check for eligibility is available on our Pupil Premium page and complete the form linked there.
Special Dietary Requirements
If your child has a special dietary requirement, please contact the school office and complete the Edwards And Ward Medical Diet Form.
Packed lunches from home
We very much appreciate parents sending children to school with a clearly named, healthy, packed lunch if they are not eating a school lunch. Water is available on the tables for all.

Nut-Aware
We know it is very hard to eliminate nut products completely but we do take steps to make our school 'Nut-Aware'.
While the majority of allergic reactions to nuts are mild, for some children and adults, eating these foods (even in tiny amounts) may cause serious reactions, which can be life-threatening. As you will know, some people may even have a reaction after just touching contaminated surfaces, or breathing in airborne nut protein.
We thank you for your co-operation and request that you do not include nuts, or any traces of nuts, in packed lunches, such as:
- Peanut butter or Nutella sandwiches
- Fruit and cereal bars that contain nuts
- Chocolate bars or sweets that contain nuts
- Sesame seed rolls (children allergic to nuts may also have a severe reaction to sesame)
- Cakes made with nuts
- Any home-cooked meals for packed lunches that are made from nuts
If items containing nuts are found in your child's lunchbox they will be stored safely and sent home at the end of the day with your child.
