School Meals
The children enjoy freshly cooked, healthy school dinners prepared in our kitchen or bring in a healthy packed lunch.
The Children and Families Act 2014 places a legal duty on all state-funded schools in England to offer a free school lunch to all pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 from September 2014. Additionally, from September 2023, the Mayor of London’s Free School Meals Programme has funded a free meal for every primary age pupil, so all our children may receive a free meal if they wish.
The majority of children opt to have school lunches however you can provide your child with a packed lunch if you prefer. We do ask that you ensure that the packed lunch is well balanced and does not contain sweets, chocolates or fizzy drinks. We are a nut free school. Please refer to our food policy for more information.
We require a two week notice period if your child wants to switch their preferred method of school dinners or packed lunch.
From September 2023 until July 2025, school meals are free for KS2 children.
