Our Lady of Victories School Lunches
At Our Lady of Victories, we are proud of our Healthy School status and we are also very proud of our nutritious school meals, which are cooked from fresh by a private caterer in our kitchen. The meals offer good value for money and provide a healthy, balanced diet. There is always a choice of menu and children are encouraged to try 'tasters' of new dishes. Every day children can choose from a variety of options, including a fresh salad bar. Please click here for this term's lunch menu.
For the academic year 2023 - 2024, the Mayor of London announced all primary aged pupils will receive a free school meal each day. This will continue for 2024 - 2025 academic year.
Free school meals are available for families on income support. Further information is available from the school office and enquiries are treated in strict confidence. Follow this link for more information.
Children also have the option to bring packed lunches to school. We encourage the children to make healthy choices and parents should ensure that all packed lunches are healthy and nutritious.
For health and safety reasons, nut products are not to be sent in as part of packed lunches or as a break time snack as some children within the school suffer from severe nut allergies. Please see our Nut Allergy Awareness Policy under the policies section of our website.
Fruit
We are part of the Schools Fruit and Vegetable Scheme. Children from Reception through to Year 2 choose from a selection of fresh fruit and vegetables each day - this is free to the children. Pupils in Key Stage 2 are encouraged to bring fruit to school for a break time snack.
Lunchtime Feedback
Some children from Reception through to Year 6 were chosen at random to provide feedback about their daily lunches. The Headteacher dines in the lunch hall most days (unless offsite or unavailable) and has included her feedback, too. Many members of OLV Staff also choose to have a school meal.
