Fruit is provided for Early Years and Infant classes courtesy of the Government’s Fruit for Schools Scheme. In addition, from Year 1 upwards, healthy snacks such as fruit, cheese or cereal bars may be brought into school to eat during morning play.

Lunch times

Your child may have either packed lunch, school dinners or go home for lunch.

School dinners are £8  (April 2007) for a week.

Packed lunches should be in a labelled container. Please do not include sweets.

Children may go home for the lunchtime session upon special arrangement with the school. For home dinners your child should be collected at 12noon and returned at 1.10pm

The lunchtime break is from 12 noon to 1.15pm. Meals, cooked on the premises, are provided daily offering a healthy and balanced meal. There is always a choice of vegetarian, meat or fish, sandwiches and salad. Money (please make cheques payable to "London Borough of Hounslow") should be sent into school on a Monday morning in a sealed envelope with your child's name and class recorded on it. If you prefer you may pay on a half-termly basis.

Families receiving Income Support, Jobseeker Allowance (Income based only) or Child Tax Credit (where the parent/guardian is not entitled to Working Tax Credit and whose annual income is less than £14,495, as of April 2007) are entitled to free school meals, please ask us for a form.

Alternatively children may bring a packed lunch. This should be brought in a clearly labelled lunch box. Any drinks should be in cartons or plastic containers only.

Our Lunch Time Supervisors look after the children, supervising them in the dining hall and encouraging them to play happily and safely outside. Children may go home for the lunchtime session upon special arrangement with the school.

Water

The school actively encourages children to bring in a spouted water bottle from which they should drink throughout the day. No fizzy drinks please.

Milk

Milk is available in school for all primary school pupils. Milk orders must be placed at the end of the previous term. Otherwise you can send in a carton drink or plastic bottle. No fizzy drinks please.

Families receiving Income Support or Jobseeker Allowance (Income based only) or Child Tax Credit (where the parent/guardian is not entitled to Working Tax Credit and whose annual income is less than £14,495, as of April 2007) are entitled to free school milk but this must still be ordered at the school office.
