Vegetarian options are available every day. 

If your child has food allergies, please complete a Special Diet Referral Form (form attached) and return it to the school office.  The ISS nutritionist will create a custom menu for your child.

The school has two canteens, one for infants and one for juniors, with staggered lunchtimes from 11.45am to 1.00pm. In the infants canteen, children from Reception classes go to lunch first. This means they have the canteen to themselves for at least 15 minutes before the first sitting children come out. We have found this particularly successful in helping new children get used to the lunchtime routine. Lunchtime supervisors are present in the canteen to assist children and to take them to the playground where they are also supervised. 

PACKED LUNCHES

Children may bring packed lunches to eat instead of school dinners.  Please do not give children nuts or food containing nuts as we have several children in school who have severe allergies. We are striving to become a healthy school, therefore we encourage only healthy treats in lunch boxes (no chocolate, sweets or fizzy drinks).

FREE SCHOOL MEALS

For this academic year, school meals are free for all pupils.  The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan is providing the funding as an emergency cost of living support measure.

All pupils now receive a free school meal, but families on low incomes should still complete the Free School Meals application form. Completing the form helps us identify pupils eligible for the Pupil Premium Grant, which provides extra support, Even if your child already receives a free meal, applying ensures they don’t miss out on additional benefits.
