Catering
The school's catering service is overseen by the Trust's Catering Department which is led by Head of Catering, Gary Monger.
We are delighted to be working with the Trust team to provide high quality, nutritious and affordable freshly cooked food. An exciting and imaginative range of hot and cold food is offered before school, at break, and at lunch times.
The trust provides in excess of 10,000 meals per day across more than 36 schools. The commitment to high standards means that all kitchens have 5 star ratings from environmental health.
Breakfast and breaktime options include muffins, pastries, cereal and fruit. At morning break, students can choose from a range of hot items including sausage rolls, pizza and pasties.
At lunchtime, our hot food is served through two areas: our main servery in College Hall and our pasta and pizza area. Please see the menus below for further details. In addition, cold options include sandwiches, baguettes and wraps, as well as fresh fruit. There is an excellent range of vegetarian options and our drink selection includes flavoured water, milkshakes and fruit juice.
We operate a cashless payment system. Parents have an account where they can preload dinner money through Parent Pay. Students use a pin code or their fingerprint as identification, which is linked to their individual Parent Pay account. This reduces queuing and means that our students do not need to bring in cash to school.
Menus
Our menus are on a three week rotation.
Free School Meals
As a school, we recognise the benefits of providing a healthy meal to students eligible for free school meals and we are committed to ensuring that students are able to choose from a range of nutritious options.
If your child is entitled to a free school meal, we will provide them with a healthy range of options which can be bought at breakfast, breaktime or lunch. A hot or cold meal deal is available comprising a hot meal/sandwich, cookie and juice or water.
If your child is eligible for free school meals and would like to purchase additional items, please ensure that their Parent Pay account is in credit.
Food allergies and intolerances
Parents can be assured that steps are taken to ensure that any child with medical allergies can safely enjoy school meals with their friends.
