School Meals
School dinners are freshly prepared and cooked on the premises by our caterers - Caterlink.
They provide a choice between two meals, two vegetable sides, a dessert or choice from a selection of fresh fruit. There is also unlimited access to our salad bar, organic crusty bread and fresh drinking water.
If your child has a specific dietary need for a medical reason then Caterlink can still provide a meal for them. Please request a form from the school office.
If you would like your child to have school dinners, please contact the school office.
Due to the Mayor of London's new initiative, from September 2023 all children are entitled to a free school meal.
If you think your child qualifies for benefit related free school meals, it is still important that you complete the application form for this, as your child may be eligible for extra funding for the school. Please contact the school office via info@buckingham.richmond.sch.uk for further information
