School Meals and Menu
In partnership with Fuel for Learning
At Shoreditch Park Primary, we understand the importance of nutritious food in supporting children’s well-being and learning. In partnership with Fuel for Learning, we provide freshly prepared, healthy meals that are inclusive, child-friendly, and sustainably sourced.
Pupils enjoy daily options including a hot meat or vegetarian dish, a jacket potato, and a fresh salad bar. Menus change termly, meet national School Food Standards, and are developed with input from our School Council.
We cater to all dietary needs, including vegetarian, halal, and allergy-aware diets, in a calm, social dining environment.
We promote sustainability through Meat-Free Mondays and children help collect food waste for composting every day.
In 2025, we proudly achieved the Gold in Healthy Eating Award, recognising our commitment to high-quality, nourishing meals that support pupils’ health, independence, and readiness to learn.
