what does your contract say regarding start and finish times

[Brinjal]

can you not work over your lunch break or extra 30 min at end of shift

Yes, they can
If you are 'always late' they are not trying to make you work a different shift, they want you to work the hours set out for you when you were employed.
However, are they saying you must not be late or lose your job?
With whom did you have the agreement to come in 30 mins late everyday?
The age of your children will also be relevant to you. Do you have any under 7?

School opens at 7? That's very early, even for a school with a breakfast club

your employer can change your shifts and / or alter your hours as long as they give you the required notice . You can either accept it or leave.
Sorry but that is how things are now. They would have no problem finding someone to replace you
