St. Gabriel’s School Kitchen is run and managed by Lancashire Country Council. LCC are responsible for creating and running our school menus, ensuring they provide a variety of healthy, nutritious and exciting meals for all children.
Over the course of the academic year, there are 2 different menus: a Spring/Summer Menu & an Autumn/Winter Menu. Both menus will offer a 3-week rotation, including meat and vegetarian options. We also offer an additional option of HMC approved halal-chicken (as well as non-halal) on certain days of the week.
Please note: we do not offer any other halal meat products.
All catering staff who are involved in producing and making the menu are aware of any allergies and/or specific dietary requirements and will ensure these are catered for.
Pupils are able to select their school meal options each morning at registration and choose from a variety of fresh fruit, salad options and a freshly made dessert daily.
A two-course school meal costs £2.60 per day (£13.00 per week). Payment is required via School Money weekly or if preferred, termly in advance.

We are a NUT FREE school – please do not send any nuts in packed lunches or snacks as we have children with severe nut allergies.
Universal Free School Meals & Income Related Free School Meals
Every child in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 is entitled to receive a free school lunch.
Note, this is different to income related free school meals (for parents in receipt of benefits), which applies to any year group at both primary and secondary school. If your child is entitled to income related free school meals, we will also benefit from additional funding to use across school.
From April 2025, the eligibility for FSM entitlement changed. Children’s entitlement is no longer protected until the end of their primary school phase and children will be removed if parent’s financial circumstances change. However, those prior to April 2025 are protected by the old eligibility criteria.
If you believe you are entitled to income related Free School Meals then apply using the link below.
