School lunches

Plymouth’s school meal provider CATERed has been presented with the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) 2018 Excellence in School Food Award.

The Award was presented to CATERed at the EDUcatering Excellence Awards at London’s Royal Garden Hotel by Sharon Hodgson MP, Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on School Food on Tuesday 9 October.

If you would like your child to have a school lunch, you will need to make payment via ParentPay. Please ensure you have registered and activated your account. Letters containing activation details have previously been sent home but if you require another copy, please contact Mrs Bywater in the office.

Lunches should be paid for in advance, preferably at the beginning of the school week.  The cost of a meal per day from the 2nd September 2025 is £3.00 / day - £15.00 per week. Parents can order and pay for meals via the Arbor Parent App. 

It is your responsibility to ensure your account remains in credit and up to date. If your account becomes in arrears, and you fail to make a payment, this will affect your child taking a school meal.

Many thanks for your cooperation with this matter. 

Please note, jacket potatoes and paninis are available every day apart from on the days an All Day Breakfast or Roast meal is available.
