All children in reception to Year 6 are entitled to a free school lunch.

We encourage all families to take up this offer of a hot, nutritious and tasty meal.

Save the hassle of making a packed lunch.

Lunchtimes

The summer menu is now in operation.

Due to food supply chain issues, the school will endeavour to supply food as advertised on the menu. However, please be advised that there may be menu changes from time to time due to supply issues.

All parents need to pre-book their children's lunch meals via the Arbor App:

                  

You can find detailed guidance from Arbor on how this works here.

We would appreciate your help to ensure that meals are selected before 7am on the day.

Healthy Eating

As part of our Healthy Schools Award Status:

• Children are encouraged to bring healthy packed lunches to school (please see the guide to a healthy packed lunch attached).
• We do not allow fizzy or sugary drinks and take away food.
• Crisps should only be brought into school on Fridays
• Staff will reward children with non-based food treats such as stickers, class books or toys.
• Please do not send in sweets and chocolate for birthday celebrations (instead, every class has a girl and boy birthday badge for children to wear to mark their birthdays). If parents want to celebrate their child’s birthday, we ask that fruit or non-food based items such as stickers or a class book be considered instead of sweets and chocolate.

Packed lunches

Packed lunches are to be brought in a named container and should not contain sweets, chocolate, cans, glass bottles, and you should provide only water or milk to drink. Crisps are only allowed in school on Fridays. We would like packed lunches to be as healthy as possible. Please bear in mind that younger children tend to eat very slowly when they are chatting with their friends – so not too much food please!

Extra Funding for the school

Schools receive additional funding for children who are entitled to free school meals, and we use this money to the benefit of your children, i.e. to subsidise school trips, music tuition and receive free items of school uniform. We encourage you to claim your entitlement even if your child is currently in Reception to Year 2 as you could receive many additional benefits.

If you would like to check if your child is eligible for Free School Meals, you can use the new London Grid for Learning (LGfL) Eligibility Checker.

For any school meal queries, please contact Mrs Pawar at the school office.
