St Chad's school dinners are all cooked fresh, on site, by the school's catering team. We provide healthy and tasty meals for everyone. If your child has a dietary need, please contact the school office.

The Mayor of London has introduced universal free school meals for the foreseeable future for all primary school children regardless of income.  This is part of the Government initiative to provide all school children with a healthy meal. However, we still need you to apply for free meals if you are receiving tax credits or benefits.
