Students can bring their own packed lunch, or buy from a selection of balanced nutritional hot/cold food from the canteen. Students are not permitted to bring Fizzy/Energy Drinks to the Academy.

All students should bring a water bottle to stay hydrated at our water fountains.

The purchase of food is via a cashless system – ParentPay. Parents should add money to ParentPay online, students can then pay for food at break, or lunch, using a fingerprint or PIN number (this unique PIN is set up for students when they start in Year 7).

If parents/carers require support with this, they should email: [email protected] or call 0121 729 7220.
