What’s on the Menu?

Daily meals designed for younger pupils

Menus are built around child friendly favourites alongside gentle introductions to new foods. Portions, presentation and pacing are tailored for primary age children.

Allergen management and individual care

Families need confidence that their child’s dietary needs are understood. We work closely with schools and our Registered Dietitian to provide clear allergen processes and bespoke support for individual pupils.

Nutritional Standards for School Lunches

The nutritional standards mean that school meals must contain the set minimum and maximum levels of nutrients to provide the optimal nutritional balance.

School meals meet the Government’s rigorous nutritional standards, which have been put in place to make meals healthier and give children what they need to develop, grow and lead a healthy and active lifestyle.

Some families in each year group may be eligible for Free School Meals. Please visit Waltham Forest’s Free School Meals information page to check your eligibility and to apply
