Our catering team provides a wide range of freshly prepared meals for children in our Nursery, Infant, and Junior School. We operate a three-week rotating menu, which is the same across both schools. Menus are emailed to parents each term and are also available below or as a paper copy from the school office.
Meals can be pre-booked via the Arbor app or ordered in class each day. As we operate a cashless system, all payments (excluding Free School Meals and Universal Free School Meals) must be made through the Arbor app.
- Nursery meals cost £2.20
- Harlescott Junior School meals cost £2.50
We aim to cater for special dietary requirements and we welcome parents to make an appointment with our lead cook to discuss these specific dietary needs. We can also provide a packed lunch for school trips.
Free school meals
Universal Free School Meals are provided for all infant school aged children. If your child is in Nursery or Junior school and you think they may be entitled to Free School Meals, applications can be made quickly and easily on the Shropshire Council website.
We strongly recommend that any parents of pupils with allergies or intolerances contact the school cook to arrange a meeting to discuss their specific requirements.

Packed Lunches
Children are welcome to bring a packed lunch to school if this is their preferred option. We kindly encourage families to provide a balanced and nutritious meal to help support children’s energy levels, concentration, and wellbeing throughout the school day. To promote healthy choices, we ask that fizzy drinks are not included in lunchboxes. If you would like ideas or support with healthy packed lunch options, please feel free to speak to a member of staff —we are happy to help.
