School Meals
We are delighted to welcome Accent as the new catering provider at Christ’s School.
Accent is committed to delivering fresh, exciting, and nutritious meals every day. Their menus focus on healthy eating, great value, and the use of high-quality, seasonal ingredients that are responsibly sourced.
Our Menus
Our menu changes each term offering variety and balance throughout the school year. A range of food is available daily, including breakfast options, snacks at break, hot lunches with vegetarian choices and meal deals. Details of the menus and tariffs can be found below.

Cashless Payment System
As part of our efforts to improve efficiency in our canteen and reduce plastic waste, we use a biometric system for student food purchases. Funds must be uploaded via the MyChildatSchool app
Free School Meals
Students eligible for free school meals will have their daily allowance automatically added to their lunch account. The system is fully discreet – other students will not be aware of who is receiving free meals.
The Government has announced changes to Free School Meal (FSM) eligibility. From September 2026, all children in households receiving Universal Credit will be eligible for Free School Meals, regardless of household income.
If your family receives Universal Credit, we encourage you to submit an application/reapplication even if you have previously been told that you are not eligible for free school meals.
If your child is already in receipt of free school meals this will need to be reconfirmed annually (before September) via the link below.
Applications should be made via the Richmond Free School Meals portal link https://fsm.lgfl.net/ The school will receive a notification if you qualify. Alternatively please complete this Eligibility Check Form if you would like us to run the check on your behalf.
Please note that Free School Meals are not awarded automatically and you must apply using the link.
We encourage all eligible families to apply, even if your child does not intend to have a school meal every day. Registering helps us ensure that the school receives all support and funding available.
Parents or carers can top up the account through the MyChildatSchool app if they would like their child to have access to additional items beyond the free school meal allowance.
