School Lunches
Lunchtime is in safe hands with Nourish Contract Catering
Nourish Contract Catering will be providing school meals for our children.
About School Meals
Pupils’ wellbeing is at the heart of Nourish's recipes. Every weekday it focuses on providing fresh, healthy, and nutritionally balanced lunches that adhere to Government Food Standards.
80% of meals are cooked from scratch, using locally sourced produce whenever possible.
There is a three-week menu cycle, offering three daily meal options (usually including at least two daily hot meal options) including a vegetarian choice.
How much does a school meal cost and what’s included?
There has long been a positive association between learning outcomes and nutrition.
The cost per meal is £3.00 from September 2026.

Paying for Lunches
Please pay for lunches via ParentMail.
Contact the school office if you have not already registered for ParentMail at St Lawrence.
Please note that we have been informed by Surrey County Council that their new regulations state that all school meals must be paid for in advance and not in arrears. We are therefore not able to supply any meals for your child unless these have been paid for in advance.
We will contact parents to supply a packed lunch if payments fall into arrears.
Any change to or from school meals can ONLY be made at the beginning of a new half term period. Please notify the school office of any change to school meal arrangements by email (office @stlawrence-junior.surrey.sch.uk), phone (020 8941 0846) or in writing.
Free School Meals: If you think that you could be eligible to claim free school meals for your child, please complete this form and return it to the school office or contact the school office on 020 8941 0846 for more information.
