Hot School Dinners

Our hot meals are provided by Chartwells for £2.50 per meal. Parents/carers must place their child's order by midnight on a Tuesday, two weeks in advance.  Should you wish to cancel your child's meal, please contact their Customer Care Line on 01908 615705 or email: creativekitchenadmin2@compass-group.co.uk or visit http://www.parentpay.com for full details. 

Please note that we cannot amend, cancel or refund meals that you have ordered.

Our food is prepared off site and cooked on an oven/server.  Provision is also made for children to bring a packed lunch. Please ensure that your child’s lunchbox is clearly named.  For safety reasons, children are not allowed glass bottles in school. We would strongly advise and be grateful, if your child did not bring in sweets, fizzy drinks or any products containing nuts for lunch. Parents should not provide their own hot meals for children as we have no way of serving them.

Children are provided with a free school meal if their family is receiving appropriate benefit.  If you believe that you qualify for Free School Meals, you will need to register your child/ren using the online application form. If your application is successful, your child will be eligible for Free School Meals and Pupil Premium support which will remain in place until they reach the end of Year 6.  

You can register by using the link:   https://www.cloudforedu.org.uk/ofsm/sims

If you are unsure about eligibility, please contact Mrs Shelley Mahoney, Pupil Administration Manager on 01908 558752 or email: Mahoneys@loughton.school

Children are allowed to bring in a healthy fruit or vegetable snack at morning playtime.
