School Canteen
Good food. Healthy choices. Ready to learn.
At Brannel School, we want every learner to have access to nutritious, enjoyable food throughout the school day.
Learners can choose between a freshly prepared school meal or bringing a packed lunch from home. Our in-house catering team prepares meals on site each day, using locally sourced ingredients wherever possible.
Our menu is designed to provide a range of healthy and varied choices, helping learners make informed decisions about what they eat and supporting them to stay fuelled and ready to learn.

Cashless Payment
Brannel School operates a cashless payment system in the canteen.
Each learner has their own proximity card, which can be used to pay for food and drinks at the till.
Parents and carers can add funds to their child's account through ParentPay.
Free School Meals
Families who receive certain benefits may be eligible for Free School Meals (FSM).
If you think your child may be eligible, you can check the criteria and submit an application through Cornwall Council.

Learners who are eligible for Free School Meals can choose from a wide range of meal options, including:

FSM vouchers cannot be used for cakes, biscuits, snacks or soft drinks when selected instead of a main meal.
Allergies & Dietary Requirements
The safety and wellbeing of our learners is extremely important to us.
Our catering team has undertaken food allergen training, and allergen information is clearly displayed within the canteen. Learners are encouraged to speak to a member of the catering team if they are unsure about the ingredients in a particular food.
If your child has an allergy, medical condition or specific dietary requirement, please contact our school office, so that we can work with your family and the catering team to understand their needs and put appropriate arrangements in place.
