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

Healthy snacks and packed lunches

HTSS is proud to be an accredited Camden Healthy School and as such, we place an emphasis on learning about foods and practising healthy eating habits. Please see below our guidance on snacks and packed lunches in school. 

HTSS Snacks Guidelines

Infant snacks for break-time:

Camden provides us with daily fresh fruit and vegetables for our infants (Rec, Y1 & Y2). Infants therefore do not bring in any break-time snacks from home. 

Junior snacks for break-time: 

Children in Y3, Y4, Y5 & Y6 may bring a healthy snack for morning break. Please see below guidance on what they can bring: 

Permitted:  

  • Real fruit snacks (dried fruit and fresh fruit)
  • Rice cakes
  • Healthy cereal bar
  • Crackers
  • Cheese 
  • Small yoghurts
  • Small corn-based snacks

Not permitted: 

  • Confectionery such as chocolate bars or sweets 
  • Nuts or nut products (although these can be healthy, we are a nut-free school to protect those with allergies) 
  • Deep fried foods
  • Fizzy drinks or fruit drinks; strictly water only
  • Chocolate biscuits (see Fri exception) 
  • Tortilla chips or crisps (see Fri exception)

Club Snacks

Children may bring an after-school snack if they have a club, provided it adheres to the above guidelines.

Please help us reinforce the message that sharing food in school is not safe by reminding your child not to share their snacks with others. Please also remind your child that, if their snack has packaging, it is their responsibility to either put it in the bin at school or bring it home in their snack/lunch box. Thank you.
