Parents should top up meal accounts via MCAS app 

Students can:

  • Pre-order meals via the Fusion Online app on their iPad

  • Choose food directly from one of the counters at break and lunchtimes. 

To help avoid any disruption to service, please ensure that your child’s account has a positive balance, as purchases cannot be made when the balance falls below zero.

Free School Meals

To support all our families in ensuring they get access to Free School Meals if or when they are eligible, even if that may only be for a short time, we ask that ALL families log into our FSM Checking system.  It enables us to pick up families that may not even realise their entitlement or those for whom a brief change in circumstances at some point during their time at our school means they are eligible.  It also avoids the onerous forms that need to be completed by families if/when they think they are eligible as once your details are submitted; the system automatically checks for you every week.  For this reason, even if you aren’t currently eligible and think you never will be, we still ask you to sign up. 

Apply

Applying is easy…   https://apply.cloudforedu.org.uk/ofsm/sims/apply

To complete an application, you will need to provide:

  • Your own name and date of birth
  • Contact details
  • National Insurance Number or National Asylum Seekers Number
  • Child’s name and date of birth
  • School your child is attending/will attend

Nut Free School

We are a nut free school.  Please check that your child is NOT bringing nuts or items containing nuts into school in packed lunches or snacks.

Packed Lunches

Alternatively, children may bring a packed lunch.  This should be in a secure named container.  A drink should be provided in a non- breakable container.  No sweets or fizzy drinks are allowed – instead, we encourage lots of fruit, vegetables and water.
