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.
Food for All
We understand the importance of catering for all food intolerances. We believe that every student should be able to enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal without having to worry about their dietary restrictions. To achieve this, we offer a range of options that cater to various dietary requirements, such as gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan. We take great care in the preparation of our dishes, ensuring that they are free from any allergens or ingredients that could trigger food intolerances.

Lactose intolerance is a common digestive disorder where the body has difficulty digesting lactose, a sugar found in milk and dairy products. If you experience symptoms like bloating, gas or stomach discomfort after consuming dairy, it might be an indication of lactose intolerance.
Our menu offers a variety of lactose-free alternatives, we provide dairy-free options for our delectable desserts and scrumptious dishes.
Please feel free to inform our staff about your dietary requirements and we will gladly accommodate your needs.
