Catering

The canteen is open daily providing healthy and nutritious breakfasts, break time snacks and lunches. A variety of food is available from sandwiches and salads to cooked meals and desserts.

Cashless Catering

Students are provided with a canteen account on the school’s cashless catering system, which uses ID Cards. Parents are then provided access to ParentPay, a convenient and secure way for parents to pay for school meals online, reducing the need for students to carry cash and the time spent queuing in the canteen.
