School Meals
Break Time
Students are not allowed off site at break time. They may buy snacks in the canteen or bring food from home if they wish.
Lunchtime
Students are not allowed off site at lunchtime. They may buy lunch from our canteen or bring a packed lunch if they wish.
We pride ourselves on providing a range of freshly cooked meals at lunchtimes. We offer a variety of nutritious dishes for meat eaters and vegetarians, and other requirements including Halal, Kosher, and for those with allergies/health issues. There is a salad bar, which is provided free if accompanied by a main meal. Salads can also be purchased as a main meal.

Cashless Catering System
We operate a cashless catering system where students put money on to their accounts using a cash loader system. You can give your son/daughter a cheque to do this if you wish, cheques should be made payable to Caterlink Ltd. Students registered for free school meals have their accounts credited in advance. Once in the restaurant the food is purchased using a thumbscan.
