School Dinners

We’ve been awarded as a Healthy School. Our school meals are produced with organic food and we encourage pupils to eat fruit at break times. Children may also bring in water bottles to help them concentrate and work hard all day long.

Meal arrangements

If your child is in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2, your child is entitled to Universal Infant Free School Meals.

During 2023-24, children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 will continue to receive Universal Free School Meals. In addition to this, as part of the London Mayor’s Funding, all children in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 will also receive Free School Meals until the middle of 2025.  This continues to be a choice and families can still choose to provide their child with a daily packed lunch.

Meal payments

No payments will be required for meals during the academic year 2023-24.

Changing meal arrangements 

We ask that children select either a packed lunch or a school meal and that the same choice is followed for a minimum of a half term. If you wish to make a change, please notify the school office directly.
