School meals
All the meals we provide are nutritionally balanced and meet stringent government guidelines. Information about the menu and details of all allergens along with the process for ordering meals are available on our provider's website. Vegetarian options are provided and most special dietary requirements can be catered for.
The first step is to register your child with our school meal provider (Chartwells). Once this is done, meals can be ordered. If a special diet is required, for example because of an allergen or medical condition, then the providers will be in touch with the parent once registration is complete – this process is handled directly by the provider and not the school.

Managing Allergies in School
Our school manages allergies in accordance with our First Aid and Medical Conditions, Managing Medication and Allergy Policy which can be found on our policy pages here.
Our school is ‘Allergy Aware’; this means that school staff have an awareness of allergies and the 14 key allergens; they understand how to deal with an anaphylactic episode and encourage pupils, visitors and parents to be allergy aware and ensure that staff know how to manage a safe environment.
Hot School Meals are free for all of our Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 children under the Universal Free School Meals scheme.
We have a healthy eating policy at Longfleet Primary School and do not allow sweets/chocolate/biscuits.
We provide free fruit daily for Reception to Year 2, so no snack is required. Older children may bring fruit/carrots/raisins for a snack at morning playtime.
Chewing gum is NOT ALLOWED at school.
Provision is also made at lunchtime for children to eat a packed lunch. We ask that you send a suitable, well balanced, nutritious meal. Food should be in a small lunch box (named please!) and drinks should be in a leak proof plastic container with a straw or cup. No fizzy drinks or glass please.
NO NUTS OR SESAME SEEDS PLEASE as some children and staff are allergic to them and may be given them unwittingly.
If you qualify for free meals (i.e. you are in receipt of Income Support or Jobseekers' Allowance) parents need to contact the Borough of Poole for further information, telephone number 01202 634250.
