Canteen

The school canteen is located in the Drama Block.

The canteen is open before school for Breakfast from 8:00am and also at Brunch and Lunch. Sample menus and Meal Deals can be found below.

The canteen does not accept any cash payments at their tills. Payments can be made via your ParentPay account under the Meals section. Alternatively, students can add cash directly to their dinner money account through the cash revaluation machine which is located in the canteen.

Cash must be loaded well in advance of purchasing food at the tills. The best time for students to do this is before school when it is quieter. ParentPay also allows parents to see what their child has purchased from the canteen.

Our catering contract is managed by Stir. Stir are a small catering business who quite simply, love food! Stir provide the students with their daily food whilst at school. Stir feel it is vital to provide healthy, nutritious meals to all, including those with dietary needs.

Brunch and lunch times are really important times of the school day - they allows students to relax and socialise and gives them the energy they need for the rest of the school day. Stir takes pride in making this important part of the day the best it can be.
