School Dinners
Chivenor J&I School is a 'Healthy Eating' school. We encourage children to drink plenty of water and milk, and encourage the eating of fruit and other healthy snacks which are available daily from the school kitchen.
Infant children receive free fruit daily and are encouraged to bring their own drink bottle into school freshly filled with water. The children will have access to their own bottles during break times and lesson times. Children are able to re-fill their bottles with water during the school day.
Within the Juniors, children are encouraged to drink water and are allowed to keep their water bottles with them during lesson time. They are also permitted to re-fill their bottles at home and bring them the next day.
All drinking bottles must be plastic and of the maximum size of 33cl.
Please note that sweets are not allowed in school unless sanctioned by a teacher for a special occasion. Fizzy drinks and Gum are never permitted.
Midday meals are cooked at the school, and there are two or three choices of main meal, including a vegetarian option.

Paying for School Dinners
Please send the correct amount of dinner money to school on Monday mornings in a named envelope. Cheques should be made payable to 'City of Birmingham Education Department – School Meals' with bank details on the back.
School dinners currently cost £1.75 per day or £8.75 weekly (subject to alteration).
Sandwiches
If preferred, children may bring sandwiches for dinner in which case they must bring food and drink in a named lunch box. Please do not pack chocolate or sweets in the lunch boxes as we encourage healthy eating.
Children wishing to change from dinners to sandwiches or vice versa can only do so at the beginning of a half term.
All children will be supervised throughout the dinner time session.
