School Lunches

Hot Dinners:

From September 2025, we have changed our catering provider to Caterlink and we are looking forward to working with them to provide nutritious and balanced meals for our children. The initial meetings have been really positive, with them listening carefully to us to produce a menu for the children to enjoy a variety of foods.  

Daily homemade fresh bread will be part of the menu, along with a salad bar, yoghurt and fresh fruit. Caterlink have provided a menu for Autumn/Winter which you can find below. We are please to confirm that the school meal cost is now £3.00. 

Meals can be paid for online using the Scopay facility.  An access letter is usually sent home with your child on them joining St Lawrence, which gives instructions on how to join up to the app.  Children are able to have a hot school dinner from their first day at St Lawrence, even if the Scopay account has not yet been made available to parents.

If your child has a food allergy or intolerance, this will need to be registered with Caterlink before your child can receive school meals, including theme day lunches. Please contact the school office for the appropriate form.

Free School Meals

Hampshire County Council Catering Services have launched an online service enabling parents to check their eligibility for free school meals themselves.

This self service option is available at:

Should you not have access to the internet or have problems using the website, please contact the school office who with your permission, can apply online on your behalf.

Packed Lunches:

St. Lawrence Primary School has a Healthy Eating Policy. A copy is available in the office. Children may only bring fruit or vegetables for break-time snacks.  Children in KS1 are given free fruit every day. At lunch-times we ask that parents pack a healthy lunch box with no chocolate or sweets.  The Food Standards Agency website has some very good ideas if you would like some ideas for healthy and nutritious packed lunches.

Special Diets/Allergies:

Any child who requires a special menu, parents will need to apply using the form below. Once completed please return to the school office along with all medical evidence.

Please note that menu's will not be processed until Caterlink receive the medical evidence.
