If parents/carers require support with this, they should email: [email protected] or call 0121 729 7220.
Students can buy sandwiches and wraps at break time, and a selection of hot food at lunch. Hot nutritional meals include fish, chicken, wraps, pasta, curry, jacket potatoes, chips, rice and sausage rolls. We also serve sandwiches, fruit, cake, cookies and drinks.
