Lunches

Hello and Welcome! We are delighted to take  this opportunity to introduce you to Olive Dining.

At Olive, we pride ourselves on the food we produce and the ingredients we use. We ensure that we use locally sourced produce to support the local community and manage road miles to protect the environment.

‍We are passionate about creating healthy, delicious meals that children enjoy.

Our menus are carefully planned to meet all Government school food standards, using fresh, seasonal ingredients wherever possible.

We believe that lunchtime should be a positive and enjoyable part of the school day, encouraging children to try new foods while providing the nutrition they need to learn and thrive.

The government provides Universal Free School Meals to all children in London Primary Schools. The Mayor's funding expands free school meals so that every child in a London primary school has the offer of a free lunch.

If you would like your child to have free School Dinners, please notify us of your choice by completing a School Meal Agreement Form. It is possible to change this arrangement by completing the same form and submitting it to the school office. Please note that changes can only be made at the beginning of a half term.

If you wish to change dinner arrangements for your child, please inform the school office before you wish the change to take place.

Changes may only be made at the beginning of a half term.

Nut Allergies (Nut Free School)

At Holbeach, we aim to be a Nut-Free school. This means that we would like the whole school community to make every effort to protect any children who have allergies to nuts.

To this end:‍

• We do not allow nuts or nut products in anyone’s packed lunch boxes.
• We ask every family to carefully consider what snacks they provide for their children.
• We work with our catering provider to ensure that their recipes do not include nuts.
• We work with the individual children affected to help them be responsible for the food they ingest.
