The Academy is committed to providing high quality and healthy eating for students and staff. We are delighted to have a chef of the calibre of Tracey, whose employment history is in the highly competitive London dining scene. Menus change regularly and respond to student and staff feedback.

During the day we provide…

Breakfast Club – 8.00-8.30am. Every morning, healthy breakfast options are available so that students are fuelled and ready for the day.

Breaktime brunch – healthy snacks and drinks.

Lunch – 12.10pm to 1.10pm. Children must have an Academy lunch or bring a packed lunch. More than 80 per cent of students opt for the Academy lunch. We ask parents not to put crisps, chocolate and fizzy drinks in their child’s packed lunch. All packed lunches must also be eaten in the canteen and water is provided.

Staff eat with the students as we believe this helps to build relations and supports our community ethos. Students pay for an Academy lunch using their photocard. They can opt for a set lunch priced at £2, which includes a main meal and a dessert, or they can buy individually priced items.

Here are the current Secondary lunch menus:

Afternoon tea – Every Monday to Wednesday there is an afternoon tea of hot and cold drinks and snacks at 3.35pm, before the enrichment activities begin.
