School Meals
Our delicious and nutritious meals are provided by Chartwells who are the leading school food provider in the UK serving over 2000 schools.
Universal Free School Meals (Reception, Y1 &Y2)
Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are all entitled to a free school meal and all families are encouraged and expected to take advantage of this. An extremely wide range of dietary needs can be catered for.
Please speak to the school office for further information or if you need to opt out of the free school meal provision.
How can my child transition from school lunch to packed lunch?
If your child would like to change from packed lunch to school meals, or vice-versa, please email admin@invictaprimary.co.uk . Notification of a change of meal arrangement must be received two weeks in advance, in writing to the office.
Once a commitment is made to a school meal, parents will be liable to pay for the complete half-term.

- Income support
- Income based jobseekers allowance

FREE SCHOOL MEALS FOR ALL CHILDREN
In response to the rising cost of living, the Mayor of London has made a commitment that every primary school child is entitled to a Free School Meal. This important step extends the existing Free School Meal provision – currently available to children in reception, and years 1 and 2 – to all primary
school children in Greater London.
