Lunch: Packed lunches, school dinners & Free School Meals

Free School Meals.

The guidance on Free School Meals (FSM) eligibility is changing from September 2026. As part of these changes, the Department for Education (DfE) has developed a new FSM checking service. This service is initially available to local authorities and is expected to be rolled out to Wandsworth schools over the coming months.

Please complete the new form, on the link above and return it to the St Boniface Office.

Packed lunches.

Lunches need to be healthy and nut-free - see the above suggestion sheet.

School Dinners.

St Boniface offer hot meals at lunchtime through our provider Harrisons catering services. We aim to promote healthy eating with fresh seasonal vegetables from local farms wherever possible.

Children are able to sit with their friends at lunch, whether they have school dinners, or bring a packed lunch from home. Please make sure all packed lunches are NUT FREE.

Please note that at this time you cannot use tax free childcare vouchers to pay for school lunches.

Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to Universal Free School Meals and will therefore receive a free school meal. Children entitled to UFSM are encourage to have a hot meal unless they have dietary requirements and need to bring their own packed lunch.

Dietary requirements.

If your child requires a special diet for medical reasons, please complete the click the link below, to complete the form that goes directly to Harrisons. Your child must bring a packed lunch until Harrison advise St Boniface in writing that the kitchen can accommodate their needs.
