Food at Hackney New Primary School
At Hackney New Primary School, we believe that good food is essential to a child’s wellbeing, focus, and success. That’s why we place great emphasis on providing healthy, nutritious, and delicious food throughout the school day.
Morning Bagel Bar
Each morning, we offer a free bagel bar to all of our children and families. This ensures that every child starts their day with energy and focus, ready to learn.
Healthy Snacks
We also provide fruit as a snack for all children across the school, supporting healthy eating habits from an early age.
Lunchtime Meals
Lunchtimes are a vital part of the school day, and we make sure our children enjoy a healthy, hot, and filling meal every day. There is always a choice of meat or vegetarian options, catering to a range of dietary needs.
