School lunches

Fresh, Local and Prepared Every Day

Lunches cost £5.99 per day.

We believe that healthy, nutritious food plays an important role in every child’s school day. Our experienced catering teams prepare meals fresh on site each day using quality ingredients from trusted local suppliers wherever possible.

Because our catering staff are part of the school community, they get to know our pupils well, helping to create a welcoming dining experience while supporting individual dietary requirements and allergies. Working closely with parents and pastoral staff, they ensure every child can enjoy safe, balanced and delicious meals.

Fresh ingredients, skilled chefs and a genuine understanding of our pupils mean every lunchtime supports both wellbeing and learning.

Early Years Funding

All three and four-year-old children are entitled to 15 hours of government-funded early education each week during term time, helping families with the cost of early years provision.

For eligible children aged three or four, the School will support families in applying for Early Education Funding (EEF) through the London Borough of Richmond Upon Thames. The funding is paid by the Local Authority directly to the School.

The Local Authority funding contributes towards the cost of provision but does not cover the full cost of the education and care provided by the School. Our early years offer includes a broad and high-quality curriculum delivered by experienced teachers, together with strong adult-to-child ratios.

Where a child attends for more than the statutory funded entitlement, parents are responsible for the cost of the additional contracted hours. The grant is therefore applied to the eligible funded hours, with the remaining School fees payable by parents.

By way of illustration, the grant for the Autumn Term 2026 is expected to be 1,509.90. The amount received may vary from term to term according to the funding rate set by the Local Authority and the number of eligible days within each term. The School currently intends to continue participating in the scheme for the benefit of families; however, continued participation cannot be guaranteed, particularly if future regulatory or administrative requirements make the scheme impractical to operate.

Optional Extras

Optional extras include morning and after school care and peripatetic music lessons. Please find more information on the Wrap Around Care tab below.

Wrap Around Care

We are aware of the difficulties of working parents who need Wrap Around Care for their child. Our Morning and After School Care is in place to help parents who need to bring their children to school early and who cannot collect them at the end of the afternoon lessons.

Our dedicated, qualified supervision staff ensure the children have the best possible experience and enjoy the various activities and games on offer.

Timings:

Morning care is available from 8am and afternoon care runs up until 6pm.

How it works:

Wrap around care can be used on an ad hoc basis whenever it is needed, or parents can register and pre-pay for the full day service at the start of term.

After care details:

At the end of lessons, full day pupils are given afternoon tea after which a range of interesting games and recreational activities is available to them under the supervision of specially appointed staff. Older pupils may do their homework at this time in a quiet room set aside for the purpose.

There are also a range of afterschool clubs, the majority of which finish at 4.30pm.

Prices:

Morning Care

£6.50 per child per day.
Children can be dropped off at 8am.
Children left in supervised care anytime between 8am and 8.30am will be charged.

Aftercare

£6.50 For aftercare until 4:30pm.
£5.50 Post club until 5:00pm
£14.50 Until 6pm (snack included)

Children can either complete homework or take part in supervised play or activity.

Children who stay beyond 4.45pm will be given a hot or cold snack.

To book aftercare please email: secretary@kgps.co.uk

Ways to Pay

Fees and lunches must be paid in full on or before the first day of term, preferably by BACs transfer. We also offer the ability to spread the fees termly via direct debit.

Sibling Discount Policy

For the purposes of this policy:

  • The definition of a sibling is: one of three or more children (biologically or legally adopted) having one or both parents in common.
  • The discount is not available to family members outside the sibling relationship such as stepbrothers/sisters.
  • The discount will apply to families with three or more children who attend any school within our group of schools – Ravenscourt Park Preparatory School, Kew Green Preparatory School, Kew House School, Maida Vale School and Kew Green Nursery.
  • 5% discount will apply for each sibling

Please note that this discount is only applicable for as long as least 3 siblings remain enrolled at any of the schools in the Gardener Schools Group. The discount would cease for all siblings if/when a sibling leaving school means there would be less than three siblings enrolled within the Gardener Schools Group.

Pupils in receipt of the sibling discount are not eligible for any other discounts.

Fees in Advance Scheme

The school operates a limited fees in advance scheme.
