Children eat in the Church Hall across the road. They are taken over by lunch time meals supervisors.
School Meals
The Mayor of London’s free school meal scheme is active in our school, meaning a hot meal is available for all children and is free of charge to parents. The current menu can be found as an attahment on this page.
Packed Lunch from Home
Please ensure your child brings a healthy packed lunch. Sweets, chocolate, fizzy drinks or juice are not allowed (see additional information below for further details and suggestions).
Changing Meal Patterns Guidelines
The office kindly reminds you that there is a strict procedure surrounding changing meal patterns. This process still applies under the Mayor’s free school meals scheme.
You can change from packed lunches to school dinners or from school dinners to packed lunches termly and half termly. You must fill in the meal change form in the office or e-mail it to: l.stenmark@holytrinitynw1.camden.sch.uk

- meat, fish or other source of non-dairy protein (e.g. lentils, beans, soya or hummus) every day (usually as part of a sandwich, roll or salad)
- oily fish, such as pilchards, salmon or tuna occasionally
- a starchy food such as bread, pasta, rice, noodles, potatoes or other type of cereals every day
- dairy food such as milk, cheese, yoghurt, fromage frais or custard
- cereal bars rather than cakes and biscuits
- pretzels, seeds, fruit, crackers and cheese, and vegetable or bread sticks with a dip

Only on Fridays at lunchtime:
- snacks such as crisps (small bag)
- chocolate coated biscuit or wafer
- a small cake
- croissant
- chocolate cereal bar
- 1 small pudding tub
Never allowed in school:
- confectionery such as chocolate bars (sweets are not allowed at lunch or any other time)
- nuts or nut products (although they can be very healthy) because of the danger to other children with allergies
- fizzy drinks or fruit drinks, strictly water only
- deep fried foods
