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 £2.40 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 water bottle which can be refilled as necessary.

Secondary Lunches

At lunchtime we encourage students to have an Academy meal. These are cooked on site and are nutritionally balanced. We always offer a choice including vegetarian and Halal.

All of our meals comply with the latest healthy eating standards set by the government and Café O has been increasingly popular this year since new menus were introduced and a new chef joined us.
