School lunches

Old Ford Primary Academy provides a varied and nutritious menu for our pupils to enjoy.

Meals are provided by Lunchtime Co, a caterer that prepares its menus carefully, following the School Food Standards Guidance in combination with the nutrition criteria of the Government Buying Standards for Food and Catering Services. Variety is a key consideration in what they create, so different fruits, vegetables, grains, pulses, meat and fish are incorporated across the week, to serve food that looks good and tastes good too.

How are lunches organised at OFPA?

• All pupils play in their playground.
• A midday meals supervisor will come out to the playground and ring a bell. All the children stop and look.
• The midday meals supervisor will hold up a sign with the name of a class on it (e.g. 3E) and all the children line up and are walked in to the dinner hall.
• This is repeated for all classes.
• At the end, a sign is held up saying ‘Last Call’ This is an opportunity for any children who have missed their lunch to go in.
