HEALTHY EATING
At Hillborough Junior School we have a Healthy Eating policy that recognises that good nutrition is essential if our pupils are to achieve their full potential in life. We will help pupils to develop a positive attitude to healthier eating through the curriculum, food provision and links with families and the community.
School Meals
From 1st September 2023 school dinners will cost £2.50 per day. Money for school meals must be paid in advance online at www.scopay.com (debit cards accepted).
The kitchen offers a range of healthy meals and will allow the children to choose from different items to find something they like. View the school menu here.
