School Meals

 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 downloaded 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.

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