In April 2022, we launched a new catering service partnering with Cucina. Cucina has significant experience delivering catering services to schools, including several schools in the Richmond borough.
Mandatory provision - Primary, Year 7 and Year 8
Part of our unique community feel at St Richard Reynolds is that all our students in the primary school, year 7 and 8 eat a hot lunch together every day. The menu is varied and always includes multiple options, including vegetarian with food allergies and intolerances catered for. Studies show that children and young people who eat a hot meal at lunchtime have improved concentration, enhanced attention and learn important social skills from sitting down and eating together.
The cost of a mandatory school meal is £2.40 per day for the High School and £2.25 per day for the Primary School, increasing to £2.50 and £2.35 in September 2022. Payments for school meals are made via the Online School Shop, which is accessed via the following links:
Primary school: https://payments.atomwide.com/srrcc_primary/
High School: https://payments.atomwide.com/srrcc_high/
Our current menus are included below:
