Lots of Choice

The food children eat at school plays an important role in their wellbeing, and eating a well-balanced diet will not only maintain and improve their health but will also set them on the right track for later life. We understand this and that’s why we are passionate about serving fresh, high quality, and locally sourced food that is cooked in our kitchen.

CASHLESS

We only accept online payments for break and lunch through our ParentPay system. Students access their accounts using finger id or secure card.

Free School Meals

Did you know that your child might be entitled to free school meals? For more information and details on how to claim, visit www.gov.uk/apply-free-school-meals 

Special Diets

Don’t think that your child can’t enjoy our great food if they have a special diet – they are an important part of our catering service. We can provide food if they have an intolerance, an allergy, or require an alternative choice due to religious beliefs.

Sixth Form Cafe

Our Sixth Form Cafe offers our Sixth Form Students a proper coffee shop experience with a barista coffee machine, paninis and cakes. The space is often used during study periods as well as break and lunch.

This space is only available to Sixth Form Students and as such is able to stock Crisps, Cold Drinks and confectionary. As we prepare our older students for their next educational establishment or provider we allow them additional choice and responsibility over our main school students.
