School Meals

It's official! Our meals are Gold Standard.

Banovallum School canteen provides healthy nutritional meals in accordance with healthy school regulations.

We provide hot and cold choices for morning break and lunchtime. At lunchtime we also serve a daily main meal choice of both meat and vegetarian options.

A cashless service is in operation which can be paid to your child’s account via ParentPay. This system is proving popular with parents, as not only do they know what is being spent, but their child's itemised purchases can also be viewed. The school has set a daily spend limit of £6.00 for each pupil, but parents can choose to amend this if they wish by contacting us.

Dining room service times

Breakfast 8am – 8.45am

Breaktime 11.15am – 11.35am

Lunchtime 1.40pm – 2.30pm

For further information please do not hesitate to contact Kelly Beard, Catering Manager.
