Kensington Primary School Prospectus

Children may go home at lunchtime or they may stay at school and have a packed lunch or a school dinner. Children going home for lunch should leave the premises at 11.30am (Reception only) or 12:05pm (Year 1-6) through the school office. Children should return to school at 1pm. Healthy Packed Lunch If you wish your child to bring a healthy packed lunch the arrangement should be made on Monday morning and should be for the whole week. Please ensure that the meal is in a packed lunch box which is clearly labelled with your child’s name and class. School Lunch All pupils are entitled to a free school meal as part of the Newham Pilot. The meals are provided by Newham Catering Service and Halal meat is used at all times. If your child has special dietary requirements please inform us and we will pass the details to the cook. Free School Meals Every primary child in Newham receives a free school meal. Although all pupils now receive a free meal it is essential that parents continue to update their eligibility. All families need to complete the ‘Eat For Free’ form on the Newham Website at: http://www.newham.gov.uk/ Pages/Services/Free-school-meals.aspx A significant amount of the school’s funding relies on parents completing these forms. If you do not complete the form the school will receive less money affecting our ability to buy books and other resources for your children. LUNCHTIME 18 Some children aged 3 and 4 are eligible to benefit from the Early Years Pupil Premium. This is worth up to £300 per child per year, and is paid to your child’s early education provider to help improve the quality of early education for your child. To see if your child is eligible to receive additional funding please complete this on line form: https://achieve.newham.gov . uk/default.aspx/RenderForm/?F.
