School Dinners
School meals at Ray Lodge are provided by Accent Catering. Families need to accept an invitation via email for KANPLA, where meals are selected. Accent Catering can be contacted directly on raylodge@accentcatering.co.uk if you have any questions or experience any issues.
For this academic year (2026-2027) all children from Reception to Year 6 will have free school meals. This has now been funded until July 2027, by the Mayor of London's office to support in this current cost of living crisis.
Regardless of your child’s year group we would encourage you to register your entitlement as all successful applications attract additional funding to our school which we can spend on resources for your children. All successful new applicants will receive a voucher towards the cost of their child’s school uniform which must be used in school.
Is my child eligible for free school meals?
Your child might be eligible if you receive:
- Universal Credit
- Asylum seeker support (part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999)
You may also be able to get free school meals if you:
- are in receipt of new style Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
- receive the guaranteed element of Pension Credit
- meet criteria set out for families with No Recourse to Public Funds
