Academy Lunches
Alternatively children may bring a packed lunch. We ask parents and carers providing packed lunches to choose healthy options with a balanced selection of food including fruit and vegetables, juice and/or water. We do not permit sweets in packed lunches. Students are encouraged to bring a water bottle to school each day which can be refilled at our fountains.
We operate a cashless system at the Academy. Parents and carers must prepay for lunches. Free Academy meals are available to families who qualify for this benefit - please use the Free School Meals Checking Service below to see if you are eligibility.
From Reception to Year 6 we encourage families to allow their children to stay on site at lunchtime although we do allow parents to collect their children for a home lunch. All children in Reception to Year 2 receive a free hot lunch each day. Early Years children have milk and fruit in their classrooms.
In Year 7 to 11 students must remain on site at break and lunchtime. Snacks and sandwiches are available at break time. The lunch time menus are available below.
Sixth Form students are allowed off site at break and lunchtime. They are expected to return in good time for lessons or independent study sessions.
For information on how you can pay for your child's Academy lunches please see our My Child at School page.

Have a Food Allergy?
Providing information about your child’s food allergy and medications to the academy is critical.
If your child has a food allergy or food intolerance please complete the Food Allergy Form as accurately as you can, describing any food allergies.
Once we get this information, we will share it with our catering partner, so they can make sure your child gets alternative meals that are safe for them. If your child’s condition changes after you send us the form, you need to tell us as soon as possible.
Return the form to reception or email to the Office here as soon as possible.
If you are unable to complete this form please call the academy and we will assist you.
