School Meals at SMSP are prepared freshly onsite each day and served by our school caterers, Nourish.
Reception, Year 1 & Year 2 are entitled to a Universal Free School meal and for the academic Year 2024-2025, Years 3, 4, 5 & 6 are also entitled to a free meal as part of the Mayor of London’s initiative.
If you would like your child to have school meals, please complete and return the school meals form indicating if your child has any allergies or is vegetarian.
In order to not waste food, please advise the office before 9.30am if your child is coming into school late (e.g. has a doctor or dentist appointment) or if your child will be away from school, so that we can adjust the register accordingly.
Please remember to write in if you wish to cancel your child’s school meals before the end of a half term.
Even though your child will receive their free school meal, it is really important that you still complete our Eligibility Checker Form in case your child is eligible for extra funding for the school from the Government, currently worth £1,300 per year. This is extra money for the school to spend on enrichment activities and targeted support for those children who need it most. This may also entitle you to other benefits, like food vouchers and free clubs during the holidays. There is more information about this here: https://www.richmond.gov.uk/free_school_meals.
