School Meals

We are pleased to announce that 'Cleverchefs' will be providing school lunches for our children from September 2025. Please see information below about the company, including how to order and menus. Please ensure that meals are ordered in advance through the app and, at the very latest, by 8am on the morning of the meal. Ordering through the app should be available from early August.

All of our school meals are prepared on the premises every day, using fresh fruit, vegetables and meat (halal and non-halal meat choices are available).

All Key Stage 1 pupils (Reception, Year 1 & 2) will be entitled to a FREE lunch under the Universal Infant Free School Meal programme

All meals must be ordered via your account by 8am a.m. daily or weekly. If your child is absent then please cancel your meal before 08:30 a.m. of that morning.

Is your child eligible for free school meals?

Use this link to check. You should check your eligibility, even though all children in London boroughs are currently entitled to a free school meal, when a child is registered for Free School Meals not only will your child receive a delicious hot dinner each day, but the school also gets some additional money called ‘pupil premium funding’ that we use to support your child with their learning. It also means that they will be entitled to one free extra curricular club a term and money towards school trips each year.

Packed Lunches

At Hayes Park School, we are proud to hold the Healthy Eating Silver Award. As part of this, we encourage all children who choose to bring a packed lunch from home to choose healthy eating options (no fizzy drinks, chocolates or sweets). No nuts or nut products e.g Nutella.

Have a look at our healthy lunchbox leaflet:

Allergies

We ask that you do not bring any food items containing nuts to protect those with allergies.

If your child has an allergy of any kind, please inform the school immediately.
