Hot School Dinner or Packed Lunch?

Hot School Dinners  

Hot School dinners are provided by Merton’s caterers, Caterlink. All children are offered a choice of hot midday meals, cooked fresh on site, from a menu which complies with both the government's School Food Plan and the nationally recognised Food for Life Standards. The current menu can be seen below.

If your child has dietary requirements on medical or religious grounds, special meals may be ordered for her/him. Please contact the school office to complete a form if you wish a special meal to be ordered. A meal plan will need to be completed by the catering company before meals can be taken.

Packed Lunch

All children may bring a healthy packed lunch with drinks in unbreakable containers to school, in a clearly named bag. We remind families that we are a nut free school.

Each day children get to choose when the register is taken whether they want a school dinner or have brought a pack lunch that day.

Free School Meals for all children

All pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a school meal each day 'free of charge' under the Universal Infant Free School Meal programme. This has recently been extended to all primary aged children by the Mayor of London, meaning currently there are no charges for school meals. We still ask families to fill in the Pupil Premium form as this will provide a free meal if the funding ends, holiday club places, meal vouchers during the holidays while still funded by the local authority and additional funding for your child in school.
