School Lunches
Our Caterers
Edwards & Blake are delighted to be providing the catering services at our school! Menu Our menu has been designed to deliver a real taste adventure to the school, offering a range and style of food to reflect your individual school needs and preferences. Our aim is to provide pupils with an exceptional catering experience and to exceed your expectations whilst maintaining our high standards. Our kitchens have a hard working and skilled set of staff to ensure that all of the products are made fresh each day using seasonal ingredients and sourced as locally as possible.
All pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a free school meal everyday. This means they can have either a hot or cold main meal or vegetarian meal followed by dessert.
Selecting School Lunches
In order to reduce the registration time in class and therefore increase teaching time, we encourage parents to order school meals for their children in advance. This also supports the catering team to reduce food wastage and at the same time ensure that meal selections can be met – both really difficult when meals are selected on the day.

Paying for School Lunches
The school provide parents with the ability to pay for school meals online. This means you can pay whenever it is convenient for you, without having to find the exact change, or having to send a cheque into school. The cost of a school meal is £2.75 and should be paid for in advance.
Bassingbourn Primary School uses the Bromcom Management Information System (MIS) and parents are asked to pay for their children’s school dinners using Bromcom's My Child at School (MCAS) website.
Please note: Parents need to obtain their username and password from the school office before logging in to the MCAS website. The school ID is 11710.

Special Diet/Allergies
If your child has a specific dietary need for a medical reason, we will work with you to create a menu to meet the needs of your child. We have a Medical Diet Procedure to follow, to ensure your child can safely eat with us. If you would like your child to have a school meal we would need to see a medical certificate from your child's consultant. We can then proceed with creating a suitable menu. Please read the Guide for Parents below and complete the Medical Diet request Form.
Details of what happens once you have sent the request are set out in the guide.
