AttendanceSchool Meals
St. Joseph’s provides an opportunity for all pupils to enjoy a hot cooked lunch each day.
School Meals
School meals are freshly prepared and cooked in-house each day, following the Bishop Wilkinson Catholic Education Trust Garden Kitchen Menu at a cost of £2.85 per day, £14.25 per week.
We kindly ask parents to pay dinner money every Monday morning on-line. This can be paid in the payments section in Arbor.
Our fantastic kitchen staff get involved with all of our school activities and often get dressed up for theme days.
