Free School Meals
Normand Croft will benefit from The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan’s, pledge that ‘No child should go to school hungry’. Therefore, we are able to offer a free meal for children from Reception to Year 6 this academic year (2023/2024)
If you are entitled to benefits, it is still important to register, click here for the link. This will mean that the school will receive extra Government funding to be used for the benefit of your child’s education.
Catering Company
At Normand Croft all of our school meals are cooked on the premises by, Alliance in Partnership (AiP), specialists in education catering.

Special Diets
Arrangements are made to ensure that suitable meals are available for children needing special diets for health reasons. If your child needs a special diet you will need to fill in an allergy form the school office. The catering company will need 3 weeks’ notice to prepare a bespoke menu for your child.
