School Dinners

All primary school aged children are entitled to a free daily school meal as part of the government's Universal Infant Free School Meals and the London Mayor's funding.

Children will be able to choose a school dinner prepared by our caterers, 'Stir'. Parents must pre-order their child's food choices in advance via the SwiftKitchen app. All parents/carers will receive a SwiftKitchen login when their child starts at Fairlop.

All children can bring in a healthy packed lunch from home if they prefer.

School Dinner Lunch Menu 13.04.26 to 19.10.26

If your child has any allergies or dietary requirements, please contact the school as soon as possible and we will provide you with details to liaise with Stir.

Healthy Packed Lunches

If children bring a packed lunch it must be contained in a lunch box clearly named. Please ensure that no glass or any other breakable container is used in the interests of safety. In line with our Healthy School London Award, we have aim to be 'water or milk only' at Fairlop. Packed lunches should not include any fizzy drinks, fruit drinks or energy drinks. Children are encouraged to bring in a water bottle from home and drinking water is always available in school.

Plastic bottles may be recycled or reused. As little packaging as possible is recommended for the packed lunches and this will be returned in lunch boxes.

Sweets are not permitted in school and healthy lunches including fruit are encouraged.

Please remember that we are a NUT FREE school. If a child has a packed lunch item containing nuts, they will be asked to eat it in an area away from the other children or keep it to eat at home.

The NHS change4life website has lots of ideas for healthier lunch boxes and some great recipes. Get loads of easy-to-prepare ideas your children will love, as well as tips on what else to put in their lunchbox.
