School Meals
At Eastfield Primary Academy, we want lunchtime to be an enjoyable part of the school day. Our school meals are provided by Food Stars, our in-house catering team, with a range of hot and cold choices available each day.
Children can choose from a hot main meal, a vegetarian option, jacket potato or cold sandwich, alongside a choice of desserts.
Booking School Meals
Meals are booked one week in advance through the MCAS (MyChildAtSchool) App, giving families the opportunity to choose meals together in advance. Our Main Office team will help families to set up MCAS when their child joins Eastfield.
A menu is shared with families each term and our current menus can also be viewed below.
School meals currently cost £2.25 per meal and must be booked and paid for in advance through MCAS.
Families can choose which days their child has a school meal, so children do not need to have a school meal every day.
Packed Lunches
Children are also welcome to bring a packed lunch from home.
Eastfield is a nut and kiwi-free school. Please ensure that packed lunches do not contain nuts, kiwi or products containing these ingredients, as we have children with severe allergies.
Free School Meals
All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a free school meal through Universal Infant Free School Meals.
From the beginning of the 2026/27 academic year, children from households receiving Universal Credit are also entitled to a free school meal.
There are also other circumstances in which children may qualify for benefits-related Free School Meals.
If you think your child may be eligible, or would like help or further information, please contact Miss Steward in the Main Office, who will be happy to support you.
