St Margaret Clitherow Catholic Primary School

School Meals

We offer all children a hot school meal at lunchtimes.  The meals are cooked on our school site using fresh ingredients by cooks from the school catering company, Chartwells. We recognise the importance of a healthy, balanced diet as central to a healthy lifestyle and fundamental to a child’s concentration, energy levels and self-image.  By teaching healthy eating skills, we aim to contribute greatly to promoting family health and the social pleasure and interaction which this fosters.  We wish children to understand food from growth to cooking, serving and eating.

From September 2023 for one academic year, all children in London primary schools are entitled to a free two-course meal (main course and dessert) as part of the Mayor of London's Universal Free School Meals Programme. 

Information about school meals for your child will be sent out via the Jotter each term and is available from the school office.  

If your child has special dietary requirements, please contact Mrs Robinson via the school office. Please make sure that your child's records regarding his/her dietary requirements are updates so that we can pass this information to our catering staff.
