Chefs at Dame Bradbury's, which is part of the Stephen Perse Foundation, thought they would swap toad in the hole for a new lunch choice - but hungry pupils had other ideas!
Year 5 and 6 pupils started the petition last week and by lunchtime had earned 50 signatures from around the school, urging head chef Jason Wright to bring it back.
They presented it to him in the kitchens and yesterday, Mr Wright returned the favourite to the menu - much to the glee of pupils.
Tracy Handford, Head of Dame Bradbury's School, said: "Encouraging pupils to share their views and have their say is very important and at Dame B's we encourage pupils doing this in a respectful way.
"Mr Wright wanted to see how popular toad in the hole was before it was reinstated - and judging by the overwhelming response to the pupil petition, lots of them were looking forward to seeing it back on the menu!
"It is great to see the success of such pupil based initiatives and we all enjoyed our delicious lunch of toad in the hole yesterday."
