 The Catering Department
All our meals are freshly prepared on the school premises, with ingredients from recognised catering suppliers, in our modern kitchen. All of our menus adhere to current Government standards for school food. The Food based standards for all food other than lunches and the Nutrient based standards for lunchtime service. The academy supports the Government’s million meals campaign.
We are committed to producing healthy meals and to cater for the varied tastes and need of our pupils. We operate a nut free kitchen and are able to cater for or advise on a range of dietary needs.
All our services operate on a biometric payment system. This allows money to be added to a student's account with cash on the day or cheques for a week, month or term. We are hoping in the near future to accommodate online payments.
Each individual item sold has a price and pupils can then build up their meal to their own value. We are currently introducing a range of “meal deals” that will offer better value and provide pupils with a balanced lunch.
Pupils in receipt of "free school meals" are not identifiable in the queue as their subsidy is added to the system electronically; this subsidy only applies to our lunchtime service.
Pupils are encouraged to stay on site at lunch time.
