School Meals & Milk
School Meals
Children can choose whether to take school meals or bring packed lunches. Children bringing packed lunches eat these in the dining hall and are supervised along with those having school meals.
The Royal Borough of Kingston's catering contract will be changing from ISS to Caterlink at the end of July. Caterlink is a well-established company, a subsidiary of WSH who are one of the UK's largest catering contractors. Caterlink provides services for schools in many London boroughs, including Islington, Camden, Sutton and, more recently, Merton.

School Milk
Our school has introduced a milk scheme that is available to all of our pupils and we would like to invite you to register your child. School milk is free for all under-fives and is subsidised for pupils aged five or older at 22p per day.
Each pupil that registers with Cool Milk will receive a 189ml portion of semi-skimmed milk every day, during morning break time, which is delivered fresh and chilled to the classroom. Their school milk will not only provide them with essential nutrients, but as it is rehydrating and energy boosting it also bridges the gap between breakfast and lunch to help children stay focused.
