Academy Lunches

Primary Lunches

At lunchtime we encourage children to have an Academy meal. These are cooked on site and are nutritionally balanced and always offer a choice. Due to funding from the Mayor of London this academic year every child in the Primary School (Reception - Year 6) is entitled to a Free School Meal.

School Meals for children in Nursery who stay all day are priced at £2.74 a day. Payment should be made via MCAS - see details here. 

Packed Lunches

Children who do not want an Academy meal may bring in their own packed lunch, which should be healthy, with a balanced selection of food including fruit or vegetables, and a drink.  No sweets, foods containing nuts or fizzy drinks are allowed. We are a NUT FREE school as we have several children and members of staff who have Nut allergies. Please do not give your child nuts or foods containing nuts including Nutella and certain cereal bars. 

Water is available to children all day long. We ask children bring in their own named water bottle which can be refilled as necessary.

Applying for Free School Meals

This academic year (2026-2027) every primary school child is entitled to a Universal Infant Free School Meal in Reception to Year 2 and in Years 3 to 6 a Free School Meal funded by the London Mayor.

Nursery children are not included in this offer, but may be eligible for government-funded FSM, please see information about applying below.

Additionally, If you are a parent or carer, and receive certain benefits including Universal Credit, then your child may be eligible for Free School Meals, a reduced fee for Breakfast Club and sometimes other benefits. 

We ask parents to make an application for Free School Meals, even if they don't think they are eligible at the momentl, as the school will also receive extra funding from the Government to use in support of teaching and learning (Pupil Premium). It is important that you apply for us to receive the Pupil Premium payment.
