HELPING YOUR CHILD MAKE HEALTHY FOOD CHOICES
Lunchtime at Colchester Prep & High School is a key part of the day, bringing everyone together to eat, chat, and strengthen our sense of community.
From Nursery to Year 8, every child enjoys a hot meal daily, with vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, plus salad, a drink, and a dessert. Lunch costs £355 per term, paid in addition to school fees.
Pupils in Years 9–11 bring a packed lunch, which they enjoy together in the School Hall.
From Year 3, pupils can also purchase a morning snack from The Wellesley Cafe during break time.
