To help keep all pupils safe, please ensure the school has up-to-date information about any allergies your child may have. Accurate allergy information enables us to put appropriate support plans in place, train staff effectively, and respond quickly in an emergency. We all have a part to play in creating a safe environment, including following our nut-aware policy and being mindful of the food brought into school. If your child has an allergy, please contact the school or update their details via Arbor. Be Allergy Aware and Save A Life - see more here.

School Meals

Introducing Thinking Food Jr!

Furzeham Primary and Nursery School is proud to be home to our very own in-house catering provision: Thinking Food Jr.

Led by the Thinking Schools Academy Trust, Thinking Food Jr aims to deliver variety and choice, encourage our children to enjoy their food and ensure they enjoy nutritious and delicious meals which fuel their learning. In partnership with Educatering, we deliver tasty meals, made from fresh local produce wherever possible.

We operate a pre-order system via Arbor, which allows you to order your child’s meals as far in advance as you like, up until the day before the meal.
