From September 2023, every primary pupil in the London Boroughs will be eligible for complementary school meals. As a result, from September, Chartwells, our school caterer, will provide hot or cold school lunches for all our children free of charge!

Chartwells

As the leading provider of catering services to schools across the UK, we believe school lunches should be freshly prepared, great-tasting and attractively presented to engage pupils. 

Our menus are fully nutritionally checked by our expert in-house team and meet the Government’s school food standards.

Seasonal and nutritionally balanced healthy menus will change twice a year, offering variety along with new dishes to stimulate inquisitive minds.  We also understand our responsibility of the importance of educating young people on good nutrition and healthy lifestyles via our education programmes. 

We’re proud of our support for local and British suppliers – sourcing the best possible quality ingredients and produce from well respected, stringently selected and continually audited farmers and growers. 

We’ve always taken the issue of food allergies extremely seriously. If any pupil has an allergy, an intolerance or a medical condition that calls for a special diet, our in-house expert team of nutritionists make sure pupils are fully and safely catered for with special menus, procedures and local training. A copy of our specials diets form can be requested from your school. Once complete, please send across to mandy.cox@compass-group.co.uk if you would like to arrange for a special diet menu.

Chartwells are extremely excited to be given the opportunity to become the catering provider in your school and we look forward to meeting pupils, parents and school staff.
