Full time pupils all eat lunch at school. The meals are prepared at the Perse Preparatory School site in Trumpington Road and are then brought to The Pelican, where the children will be served by the catering assistants. Members of staff are in attendance and eat their meal with the children.
All pupils have the cooked meal. No child is made to eat anything they positively dislike but they are encouraged to try everything. The menus are planned with the needs of small children in mind and are published on the school website in advance, so that you are aware of what is on offer. There is a vegetarian option for those whose parents have indicated this is what they want their child to eat. There is also a cold meal option but we ask that the children only select a cold meal once a week.
