Free meal for all children
We are thrilled to share with you an exciting initiative led by the Mayor of London that aims to ensure every child in the city has access to a free meal. As we all know, proper nutrition plays a crucial role in a child's development, both physically and mentally.
The "Every Child Deserves a Free Meal" initiative has now been launched. This programme aims to provide free meals to all children attending state-funded schools in London, regardless of their background or financial circumstances. By doing so, the Mayor hopes to tackle food poverty and ensure that no child goes hungry. The benefits of this are huge, as a well-fed child is more likely to concentrate and perform better at school. Please make sure you take up this opportunity for your child by booking the meal on ParentPay.
If you do choose to send your child in with a packed lunch then please make sure they are healthy with a range of food choices.
We still have a number of families that have not booked their lunches, please make sure these are prebooked on Parent Pay. If you have an issue with this then please speak to the school office or email them on admin@greendragon.hounslow.sch.uk
Menu Week beginning Monday 27th November 2023

Packed lunches: If your child chooses to bring a packed lunch it must follow our packed lunch rules. Children can only bring one treat item e.g. if they bring crisps then they should not also have a biscuit or a cereal bar. Children must not bring jam or chocolate spread sandwiches and are expected to have at least one portion of fruit or vegetables. Please ask at the office for a copy of our healthy packed lunch guideline.
