At Belle Vue Primary School, we use Orian to provide our school meals service.  Cooked meals, including a vegetarian option, are prepared daily in our kitchen and children are offered a choice of main courses and desserts.  Salads and fruit are always available.  Meals are eaten in our two dining halls.

The daily cost of a school meal is £2.55

Meals should be pre-ordered and paid for in advance, by Thursday lunchtime for the following week using the Orian Lunch Shop website. This will enable the kitchen to order the correct amount of food for the week ahead. If you do not have access to the internet at home, please see the school office who will be very happy to help. 

Packed lunches must also be booked on the Orian Lunch Shop website, this enables you to choose either a school meal or packed lunch on a day to day basis.

Packed lunches should be in a sealed, named container.  No fizzy drinks or sweets (including chocolate) - we encourage lots of water, fruit and vegetables instead! 

From September 2014 all primary school pupils in reception class, year 1 and year 2 are eligible to receive a school meal free of charge.  

However, if you receive one of the qualifying benefits for Free School Meals, please still apply as this qualifies your child for the Pupil Premium, which is extra funding for the school to help your child. (Full details of this can be found in the Pupil Premium section on the website.)
