At Silsden Primary School, we pride ourselves on managing our own catering provision.
Our Catering Manager, Mrs Twivy, and her Catering Team prepare and cook all meals onsite, including halal and vegetarian options and all children are offered a wide range of main courses and desserts. Salads and fruit are always available. We provide food which meets national Food Standards criteria.
We like to shop local, where we can and the majority of our meat products are provided by Isherwoods Butchers, in Silsden
We run a system of daily meals selection. Children are encouraged to discuss the menus at home with their parents and to think about nutrition and healthy eating. Parents and children are able to pre-order their choices, online via our Arbor App.
Seasonal menus run on a three-week rotation and are distributed to parents as they become available. Occasional changes e.g. themed days are notified separately via our e-mail system. Click the links below for the latest menus and information:

Free School Meals offer – meals are provided free of charge to children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. For the 2024/25 academic year, the cost of meals for Nursery children, requesting a hot meal, is £2/day (£10/week) and for children in years 3, 4, 5 and 6 is £2:30 per day (£11:50 per week). I’m sure you will agree that this is good value for money for a home cooked, hot, 2 course meal.
Dinner money is payable in advance via our Arbor App.
Free School Meals
It is very important that all parents on qualifying benefits claim for free school meals for their child/children, via Bradford Council, even if their child is in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 and is receiving a free meal in school. The school receives significant extra funding for each qualifying child, known as ‘Pupil Premium’, which enables us to enhance learning provision. If you think you may be eligible please enquire at the school office or click here for further information.
