My child has packed lunch – You do not need to make a selection for that day. We will assume that if there is no selection, your child will be bringing in a packed lunch. 

My child is off school – If your child is ill and a school meal has been ordered in advance, please log on and cancel your child’s meal for that day. If you encounter any problems please contact Mrs Lanni in the school office BEFORE 9.00am. Otherwise, you will be charged for that meal. 

Can my child change their mind? – Yes. You are able to amend a meal selection up to the evening before. 

What if my child has an allergy? – The kitchen will cater for any known allergies through HCL. Should you be unsure which meal selections to select, please contact the school office. 

What if I forget to select a lunch choice? – The kitchen will provide a child with a jacket potato or cold option and you will be charged for a school lunch.
