School lunches

Lunchtime is such a key part of the day

It is a social time where children can come together, nourish themselves and sit and chat with friends

We highly value this time and ensure that children get the highest quality food. We are working with School Food Matters on further increasing our food culture at school and writing a food policy alongside pupils, staff, parents and governors. You can find our School Food Policy at the bottom of this page.

Olive Dining Catering supply our school with a healthy and varied menu where meals are cooked fresh on site each day. With a selection of meat, vegetarian and salad options every day there is a great choice along with good value for money. Whilst we have the standard menu options, we can cater for any dietary need on request. Our school is completely nut free.

‍

Our school meals are a great part of the day supporting children's health and focus as well as developing their social skills. Olive Dining also support cultural diversity and so help us celebrate with themed menu days such as Chinese New Year, Diwali, Christmas and much more!

Mayor of London school meal Programme
2023/2024

City Hall is ensuring all primary school children who attend state schools in London will receive free school meals for the full academic year, starting this September 2023. This means that everyone will receive free meals for the Academic Year starting in September 2023-July 2024, with no action required. This is an extension of the existing Universal Infant Free School Meal scheme that means all Key Stage 1 pupils already receive free school dinners.
