School Meals

School Lunches

Children can have a school meal or bring a packed lunch of their own

The school has its own kitchen and provides an excellent variety of meals daily.  Our caterers are Aspens.


​Children who bring in a packed lunch are welcome to sit with those who have school dinners.

Meals are booked through MCAS (My Child At School).

The deadline for booking meals for the following week is midnight the Thursday before.

The cost of a school meal is currently £2.75. If you feel your child may be eligible for free school meals, you can apply online through Cambridgeshire County Council.


FAQs:

Can I change my child's choice of meal once booked?

No. This is because the kitchen orders food items in advance.

 

Can my child bring in a packed lunch even though a meal has been booked?

Yes - although you will still be charged for the meal you have booked; this is because the kitchen orders food items in advance.

 

What if my child is absent due to illness or medical appointment on the day a meal has been booked?

The meal will be cancelled and your meal account will be credited.

 

What if I miss the midnight on Thursday deadline for booking meals?

Please contact the school office.

 

How far in advance can I book meals?

You can make 4 weeks' of choices at a time. Once you have booked the meals for one week, just click on 'next' to take you to the following week.


What if my child has an allergy?

Please contact the school office.
