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 for a low rate. 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. We do not allow energy drinks to be brought into the Academy.
