Lunchtime arrangements
At lunchtime there are three opportunities for the children.
They can:
- Have a cooked meal from the school kitchen
- Bring a packed lunch with food from home
- Go home for lunch
Primary School children in state-funded schools in London now get free school meals for the 2023/24 school year. The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan is providing the funding as an emergency cost of living support measure. Please note, this does not include children in the Nursery.
School meals are freshly cooked on the premises by the kitchen staff.
There is a choice of menu each day and the kitchen can cater for a range of dietary and cultural needs. There is also a halal choice available each day.
Our current school meal menu can be found below:
Any queries about school meals should be addressed to the kitchen manager who can be contacted through the school office. The school kitchen is not run by the school but by a company called BT Together. Their contact address is:

Packed lunches
Some children prefer to eat a packed lunch prepared at home. Children who bring packed lunches should bring their own spoons and forks. Sweets, fizzy drinks and cans of drink are not allowed as the school promotes healthy eating.
If your child prefers to have a packed lunch we would appreciate it if you would mark the container with the child’s name and class.
Free break time snacks for all children
All children get a free piece of fruit each day at break time. For children aged 7 or under this is provided by the national Free Fruit For Schools scheme. For children older than 7 this is provided by the school for free.
Drinking Water
We encourage all children to bring in a water bottle from home so they can drink in school throughout the day.
