School Meals
School Dinners
We would like the children to make a firm, regular commitment to school dinners or packed lunch.
Children may only change their meal option half termly.
All pupils from Reception to Year 2 are entitled to Universal Free School Meals. However, the school would ask you to indicate your child’s choice as some children may prefer to bring a packed lunch.
From September 2023 the Mayor of London has announced that all primary school children who attend state schools in London will receive a full, nutritious meal. This means that children in Years 3 to 6 will also receive a school meal every day at no charge for the full academic year. Please inform the school office if you would prefer to send your child to school with a packed lunch, so that we can prepare the correct number of school meals each day.
