DfE Free School Meals Voucher Service Privacy Notice
We are very proud of our school kitchen here at Markeaton Primary School. All our meals are cooked on site by our dedicated catering team using fresh, additive free, animal welfare assured produce. Where possible, produce will be seasonal, locally sourced and organic. We can also cater for pupils who have specific allergies, are vegetarian/vegan, or follow a strict diet due to cultural/religious reasons.
School dinner money is due in advance, either weekly or half-termly.
Preferred payment method is via our Parentmail PMX system (click the link to the right). Alternatively, we accept cash or cheque (made payable to Derby City Council) via your child's book bag or deposited in the secure 'drop-box' located in the school reception area. Please clearly label the envelope with your child's full name, class and amount enclosed.
If you would like to change from sandwiches to dinners, or vice versa, please download and complete form Change to Lunchtime Arrangements. If this letter is handed in before Friday, any change in meal arrangements will take effect from the following Monday.
Our Menus
Ordinarily our menus are on a 3-week rota, however there are days where we have a themed menu in school. When there are themed menu days taking place during the next few months we'll list them below.
