Menu for Summer/Autumn 2023
NEW FOR SEPTEMBER 2023-Free School Meals for Children in Years 3-6
You may already have heard of the initiative launched by the Mayor of London to support families in the current of cost of living crisis by offering all Key Stage 2 pupils (in school years 3 to 6, aged 7-11) a daily lunchtime meal, free of charge, for the coming academic year. This is in addition to the government’s Universal Infant (aged 4-7) Free School Meal scheme.
We do hope that your children will take up the Mayor’s meal offer - as well as the financial benefit for families with a potential saving of around £500 per child on the cost of the meals – there is good evidence that the provision of school lunches helps to support a balanced diet and encourages healthy eating habits for children.

In line with national policy, all children in Reception and KS1 are eligible for free school meals; free school meals are also available to families in receipt of support payments or whose income is below a certain threshold. If you would like a confidential discussion to find out if you are eligible, please ask at the office.
Packed lunches
Packed lunches should be brought to school in a named lunch box and they should be healthy and well‐balanced. They should not include sweets, chocolate, fizzy drinks, hot sauce (spicy) and due to allergies we cannot have anything with nuts brought into the school ie peanut butter or cereal bars contaiing nuts.
Drinks
Children are encouraged to bring a water bottle to school, which is kept in the classroom for easy access.
Snacks
We belong to the National Fruit Scheme and all children in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and 2 are offered a piece of fruit every day. Children in Key Stage 2 are welcome to bring a piece of fruit for morning break.
We hold the Healthy Schools Award and strive to ensure that all pupils know how to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
