See for yourself:

Why not try a school lunch? If you would like to join your child for lunch one day or just see the lunch time experience we would be pleased to see you. You must however seek the permission of the school before this can happen. If you would like your child to stay for a school lunch or details of free school meals please also speak to your school.
