Upcoming Menu Options
…………………………………………………………………
Healthy eating is important for everyone, especially children, to ensure that they receive all the nutrients they need to grow and develop. Eating well and being physically active will improve your children’s health as well as their ability to learn and achieve at school.
Encouraging children to eat healthily now will make them more likely to adopt a healthy lifestyle as they get older. Our catering manager with the support of her staff strive to deliver healthy eating options to both students and staff alike.
The Catering manager at Ingleby Manor School leads a team of catering assistants who deliver lunchtime offerings on a daily basis.
All food that is provided is created on site and not pre-packaged from an external supplier

Payments – How do I pay for the food my child has in school?
- Ingleby Manor School use an online payment facility called My Child at School App.
- Each child is allocated a My Child at School account when they join the school.
- Parents will be provided instructions of how to activate the account for their child.
- Once the account is activated then payments for school meals and other costs in school are to be paid via this system. Payments can be made through MCAS app by a credit or debit card.
- Ingleby Manor School use a biometric payment facility.
- On the first day, students will have their thumb print scanned which will link direct to their ParentPay account.
- Each time a student purchases food in school they will be required to scan their thumb and the appropriate payment will then be deducted from their account.
- It is a parents responsibility to ensure that there is money credited to their child’s My Child at School account at all times to cover the cost of school meals being taken.
