Lunch at School

During the summer term we are taking part in the national Eat Them To Defeat Them campaign! Please watch our Eat them to Defeat them launch assembly -

To find out more information about the Eat Them To Defeat Them campaign click here

Our lunch break begins at 12:00 (EYFS/KS1)/12:15 (KS2) and ends at 13:15pm . During this time all of our pupils enjoy either a hot school meal prepared freshly each day in our school kitchen or a packed lunch prepared by their parents/ carers at home.

School meals are provided by The Pantry which are prepared on the premises in our school kitchen.

The Pantry customer service team can be reached on 020 8813 7040 or by email at office@thepantrycatering.co.uk

Alternatively you may wish to provide your child with a packed lunch from home. Please note that due to allergy concerns we are a nut free school and therefore we ask that you refrain from sending children to school with nuts or nut based products e.g. peanut butter sandwiches, cereal bars containing nuts etc.

In certain circumstances it may be possible for parents to receive free school meals for their child(ren).

Your child may be entitled to receive free school meals if you are entitled to receive one or more of the following:

Income Support
Income Based Jobseekers Allowance
An income-related employment and support allowance
Support under part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
The Guarantee element of State Pension Credit
Child Tax Credit, provided they are not entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual income (as assessed by HM Revenue & Customs) that does not exceed £16,100

Parents receiving Working Tax Credit for four weeks after their employment finishes are entitled to free school meals during that period. This also applies to parents who start working less than 16 hours per week.

If you think that you may be eligable to qualify for free school meals please do not hesitate to contact a member of the school office team.

Please note: Under the Government's 'Universal Free School Meals' (UIFSM) initiative, all children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are eligible to claim a free school meal each day regardless of economic circumstances. At our school we are pleased that an extremely high percentage of families choose to do this.View our current menu

However if you and/ or your partner fall into any of the above 'Free School Meal' categories, it is important that you speak to the school office to register this as the school may be able to access approximately £1,300 of extra funding per year for the school to spend in supporting your child to make the best possible progress and in helping you to provide experiences for your child such as extra curricular activities, musical instrument tuition and educational visits.

If you have any queries regarding applications for free school meals please speak to Mrs Cramer in the school office, who will be more than happy to assist you with this.
