Lunch menus

We believe that good food fuels learning, wellbeing, and emotional resilience. Our in-house catering team prepares fresh, nutritious meals daily, with a focus on balance, variety, and quality.

About our food

Our school meals meet DfE food standards, which set out the types of food and drink schools should provide to help children eat healthily. This includes a balance of fruit and vegetables, wholegrains, protein and dairy, while limiting foods and drinks high in fat, salt and sugar.

We are proud to hold Food for Life Gold School award, reflecting our commitment to high-quality food. At least 75% of our meals are freshly prepared, with a minimum of 15% organic and 50% locally sourced ingredients, alongside sustainably sourced fish and a strong focus on ethical, environmentally friendly practices.

Free School Meal (FSM) Changes for 2026 / 2027 Academic Year - claim by 31st July 2026

From the start of the 26 / 27 academic year, all children from households in receipt of Universal Credit will be entitled to receive a free meal, regardless of household income. There will be two categories of benefits-based free school meals:

• Targeted FSM: for households receiving Universal Credit with annual earnings of £7,400 or less. This is unchanged from the existing threshold and continues to attract pupil premium and other disadvantage funding.

• Expanded FSM: a new category for households receiving Universal Credit with earnings above £7,400. These pupils receive free meals but do not attract pupil premium or other disadvantage funding.

Existing Claims

All households, whether you currently qualify for FSM or not, must apply for, and meet the FSM eligibility criteria to receive provision. Pupils will not attract FSM funding if they do not have a valid recheck of eligibility before October each year.

New Claims

Many families will become eligible for the first time under the expanded FSM criteria. If you feel you may qualify for free school meals under the new guidance, you will need to apply on the Government Free School Meals Website. Enter your postcode to go to your relevant council website to apply. Please make your claim by 31st July 2026.

Check your eligibility

To check if you are eligible for free school meals - whether as Targeted FSM or Expanded FSM - you should visit the London Grid for Learning website- you will need your national insurance number.

School and Sixth Form

Fizz Free Foundation

As part of our commitment to health and wellbeing, we are encouraging the reduction and removal of carbonated drinks across our settings.

This initiative supports healthier choices, better hydration, improved concentration and positive lifelong habits for our children and young people. It also helps reinforce the importance of wellbeing across the Foundation.

Staff play a vital role in modelling this approach. They are expected to support our Fizz Free commitment both on site and during off-site activities, including not purchasing fizzy drinks for pupils or taking them to outlets where this would undermine our message.

Together, we are creating a consistent culture that supports health, wellbeing and positive everyday choices.

Accreditations

Our team work hard to deliver high standards in all they do.
