The academy and Innovate, our catering supplier, aim to provide all students with an exceptional catering experience. Our very talented Executive Chef and the fantastic catering team will be serving exciting menus packed with healthy ingredients, that are full of variety, and with loads of interesting new things to try.
It’s important that the food tastes as good as it looks, and we’re sure you won’t be disappointed.
Cashless payments
The academy uses the ParentPay system which is a cashless system for canteen purchases. We use a Biometric system. Parent Pay is in operation for accounts to be topped up online. Students can also top up their accounts on site with cash if required.
Free school meals
Your child may be entitled to free school meals. Even if your child does not wish to eat free school meals, but is entitled to them, it's worth applying because for each child entitled to free school meals the Academy could receive funding to help with tuition, resources, coaching and extra assistance.
Find out if your child is entitled to free school meals by accessing this link https://educationhub.blog.gov.uk/2025/06/expanding-free-school-meals-what-parents-need-to-know/.
The meal value is £2.76.
