Chartwells Menu - Up to October 2023
Our catering is provided by an external company called Chartwells.
Please note that school meals must be paid for in advance. These can be paid for via ParentPay, by cash or by cheque. Cheques should be made payable to Plymouth CAST (and not St John's). The school cannot take card payments in the school office. Card payments may only be transacted through ParentPay.
Sadly, it is not possible to order school lunches via ParentPay; children will be asked by their class teacher to make a selection from the menu options available each day.

The Universal Credit rollout is currently expected to complete in March 2023.
