School lunch

The serving of an appetising, nutritionally balanced school lunch to all our pupils every day is an important part of school life at Hendon Prep.  All meals are prepared on-site using fresh ingredients. We are proud of the quality of the hot school lunches provided, particularly as a recent report for the British Medical Journal claimed that 'packed lunches are far less healthy than school dinners' (Jan 2010).

Our Catering Manager pays particular attention to ensuring that vegetarians as well as those with allergies and special dietary requirements are catered for. Due to the increasing prevalence of nut intolerances, no products that contain nuts or traces of nut oils are permitted on the premises.  

Nursery children are offered a snack of fruit and bread along with milk or water both mid-morning and mid-afternoon.
