Academy Lunches
At lunchtime we encourage students to have an academy meal. These are cooked on site and are nutritionally balanced. We always offer a choice including vegetarian and Halal.
The academy canteen offers a great selection of meals all purchasable. This includes a main meal and drink. Alternatively students 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. These will help your child to stay healthy and to concentrate in lessons. We kindly ask that parents do not place sweets in packed lunches. Students are encouraged to bring a water bottle to school each day which can be refilled at our fountains. We do not allow energy drinks to be brought into the academy. For information on how you can pay for your child's academy lunches please see our MCAS page
