Parents enjoyed a tasty treat when they were invited to ‘come dine with me’ by their children at Chilton Primary in Ramsgate.

Mums and dads from Reception to Year 6 have been invited to tuck into the popular school dinners in the main dining hall throughout the term.

Most recently it was the turn of Year 1 and Year 6 pupils to welcome their families to enjoy a meal.

The menu consisted of fish and chips, jacket potato or tomato pasta. Families could then visit the delicious salad bar, where they could help themselves to a selection of tasty treats. There was then a selection of yummy puddings to choose from.

Deputy Head of School Hannah Cheshire explained: “The children enjoy bringing various members of their family into school for a meal. It is a lovely friendly social occasion and it also encourages families to get together and chat over their meal and sample yet another part of school life.

“At Chilton we strongly believe in the value of community and togetherness. We love to involve our families in all aspects of our school life wherever possible. They are always so supportive and it was lovely to see so many take part in the come dine with us experience.

“Once again our catering team of Chloe and her team of cooks were flat out in the kitchen preparing and serving nutritious meals every day - they rose to the challenge magnificently and provided tasty food for our special guests and showcasesd a smoothly-run operation.

“We have had a real focus this year on good manners at mealtimes - using our knives and forks correctly, not having our elbows on the table, saying please and thank you and sharing a

lovely conversation over mealtimes. It was great to see all that hard work come to fruition.”

Chilton Primary is part of the Viking Academy Trust with Upton Junior School, Broadstairs, and Ramsgate Arts Primary.
