Food at Reach Academy

JPL Catering are delighted to be working with Reach Academy Feltham. We offer a catering solution delivered with passion and expertise.

We acknowledge that a healthy and balanced diet, rich in nutrients, is highly important to the development and learning of each pupil. Therefore our menus are created weekly by our Executive chef, Edson Lopes Junior, who aims to reflect freshness and diversity in nutrients at each meal to inspire curiosity and excitement in the pupils and staff alike.

Our innovative lunch model has also been covered by the Guardian!

We have delicious meals and work closely with JPL, our catering partner, to constantly evolve and develop our menu in line with pupils' tastes. Visitors, including then Mayor Boris Johnson, routinely remark that it is the best school lunch they have ever tasted.

Paying for school meals

A charge of £2.25 per day will be made for food and drinks provided, including lunch and a morning snack. Children will not be allowed to leave their lunch seat until the end of the meal is signalled. Children must eat what they are served; if the child chooses not to eat their food, they will still be charged. In year 7 the charge of lunches increases to £2.30.

Food must be paid for in advance and payment is made via the school’s online payment system, ParentPay. Parents can choose to pay weekly, monthly, half-termly or termly. Any meals that are not subsequently taken, due to unauthorised absence, will not be credited back and neither will those as a result of short-term illnesses. If a child is suffering from a long-term illness then a compromise may be reached, but only after discussion with the Senior Leadership.
