School Meals
At Sir John Thursby we pride ourselves on our excellent menu choices.
We hold themed food weeks, alongside our regular menu focusing on cultural diversity and foods from around the world.
In line with the Food Standards Agency requirements, a full list of allergens is available on request. If you have any special dietary requirements our Catering Manager will be happy to discuss these.
For any food that contains Halal meat, the meat is from an establishment monitored and certified.

Crisis and Resilience Fund
If you family is going through a hard time or facing an unexpected crisis, your local council may be able to help.
From 1 April, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) introduced the Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF) to support local welfare services.
The fund will run until 31 March 2029 and is paid for by the UK Government.
The CRF replaces the Household Support Fund (HSF), which ran from October 2021 until 31 March 2026. Because of this change, free school meals vouchers will no longer be available during the school holidays.
