Canteen Services

Our canteen serves healthy and freshly cooked meals and snacks at morning break and lunch.   The school’s catering is contracted to Aspens Services Limited.  Aspens Services is a market leading contract catering company specialising in school food.

The school operates a cashless payment system for meals, drinks and snacks, with payment being made by a card that is issued to all new pupils at the start of Year 7.   The card can be credited through Scopay, the on-line Internet Payment System.

Pupils who prefer to bring a packed lunch are welcome to use dedicated areas of the canteen and all pupils can purchase a smaller range of drinks and snacks that are available on a daily basis.  We encourage you to prepare healthy, tasty and varied packed lunches.  Here is some advice if you are stuck for ideas.  https://www.nhs.uk/change4life/recipes/healthier-lunchboxes

Pupils who are eligible for Free School Meals automatically have their card credited each day, and they can use this allowance at lunch time.  The system is 'invisible', so other students do not know who is claiming a free school meal.   If you would like to know more about registering for free school meals please use this link.  https://www.gov.uk/apply-free-school-meals

The school menu rotates on a three-week basis and refreshes for Autumn/Winter and Spring/Summer seasons.   To view the latest menus offered, Autumn 2024, by our catering service, please follow the link below.
