About Southwark School Meals

About Southwark School Meals

SSMSTP Logo

A good healthy school lunch is vital to pupil health and wellbeing, supports good nutrition, builds healthy habits, and helps pupils stay focused in lessons. 

The council aims for all Southwark children to enjoy a nutritious meal, by:

  • Improving nutritional quality and consistency of school meals across Southwark.
  • Tackling disadvantage and reducing inequalities.
  • Maximising the contribution of school food to children's health and wellbeing, environmental sustainability, and wider social value outcomes.
  • Establishing a better managed school food system through the Southwark School Food Procurement Framework, enabling schools to benefit from improved contract management, consistent quality standards, and economies of scale.

This website is a space for schools to learn what free support, training and funding the council offers.

It also brings together:

  • useful national and borough school food policy and guidance, and
  • links to other resources
