Meals served at Kedington Primary Academy are prepared by Caterlink. Healthy eating is encouraged by the provision of high fibre foods and low sugar options. Children are also welcome to bring in a packed lunch from home too.
The menus are designed to be tempting and healthy and offer a daily vegetarian choice. Please contact the School office if your child has special dietary requirements. More information can be found here: Home – Caterlink

IMPORTANT: We are a nut free school
Kedington is a “No Nut” school and children should not have sweets in their packed lunches and we strongly encourage them to have a healthy packed lunch.
Paying for School Meals
Arbor
At Kedington Primary School, we use Arbor to help families stay connected with school life and access important information about their child.
Through Arbor, parents and carers can:
- View their child’s attendance information and up-to-date attendance percentage
- Order and pay for school meals
- Make payments for trips, activities and other school events
- Provide consent for educational visits, photographs and other permissions
- Receive important communications and emails from the school
- Access key information about their child and school events
Parents and carers are provided with Arbor login details when their child joins the school. We encourage all parents and carers to use the platform regularly to keep up to date with school information and communications.
If you experience any difficulties accessing Arbor or have questions about using the system, please contact the school office and we will be happy to help.
Applying for Free School Meals
If you think your child is eligible to benefit from pupil premium funding and to receive Free School Meals please apply directly via the Suffolk County Council website.
Universal Infant Free School Meals (UIFSM)
All infant pupils in reception, year 1 and year 2 are eligible for Universal Infants Free School Meals.
If you receive benefits and your child gets Universal Infant Free School Meals you should still apply online for Free School Meals. This will allow our school to receive extra funding that could support your child.
You can apply for Universal Infant Free School Meals as soon as your child’s place at school is confirmed.
