A primary School in London is offering free school meals to all its pupils.

Temple Grove Hatcham in south London will provide free school meals for all pupils, regardless of means testing in a bid to help pupils eat more healthily.

Pupils and staff will also be eating together, which it is hoped will improve social skills and build relationships across the school.

"We believe in the importance of having a good meal to help sustain everyone throughout the day," says chief executive officer Elizabeth Sidwell.

The free school meals are made from locally sourced produce and are designed to be appealing to students.
