School Lunches

​​In September 2014, significant changes were introduced to school food: cooking is back on the curriculum, every pupil in reception, year 1 and 2 is now eligible for free school meals, with new food standards are being introduced.  These are three of the 16 actions in the School Food Plan, which aims to transform what children eat in schools and how they learn about food (see www.schoolfoodplan.com).

​Please note that we started with a new menu in September  2017, on a three week rotation.

The normal deadline is : 

• 24 hours before the meal is needed 
• 
  

However, would like to reiterate to all of our parents who order school meals for their children, that is is important that they check EVERY WEEKEND to ensure that meals are ordered for the following week.  We understand that the ISS Cypad ordering system only allows for a certain number of weeks to be booked ahead.  This may not be clear when you make your online order.  ISS have in the past informed us that ordering using your mobile phone (particularly Apple devices) may effect the number of days you can order ahead. This is of course not ideal, but is out of the school's control.
The kitchen only prepare the number of meals ordered: they do not cook any spares. If you child does not have a school lunch ordered, you will be asked to bring a lunch from home and unfortunately your child will need to wait until this arrives before they can eat.
If you have any queries, please contact the School Office or ISS on 0208 831 6066: 

Lunch Boxes 

Packed lunches should be of a small size (no backpacks please). Please ensure that lunch boxes are clearly labelled with your child’s name. Please remember that the school is a NUT FREE ZONE as several children have nut allergies. We are also a healthy eating school and therefore chocolate and sweets are not allowed.

Free Fruit Scheme and Drinking Water 

The children are offered a mid-morning snack of a fruit such as an apple, banana, pear, raisins or cherry tomatoes as part of the government initiative for children to eat five portions of fruit or vegetables per day. Children are also encouraged to 
 drink water throughout the day. This is freely available to drink in classrooms and during breaks from the outdoor water fountains. Alternatively, you may provide your own, labelled bottle for your child’s personal use.
