Canteen
(Updated March 2025).
Facilities:
Dining Area
An indoor and outdoor seating area for a large number of students.
Theme Days
We offer around twelve theme days per year. These centre around events such as Valentine’s Day, Burns Night, Bonfire Night, Chinese New Year and Halloween. Students are able to enjoy foods related to the event.
The Breakfast Club
The Breakfast Club serves a variety of toast, porridge and pastries, along with a selection of drinks, between 7.45am and 8.30am. The school also runs a free bagel bar for students who arrive before school starts, as part of Kellogg’s free breakfast scheme.
Breaktime
Breaktime serves extensive hot and cold options, which include pizza slices, wraps, breakfast goods, hash browns and pasties.

Cashless Catering
We no longer accept cash at the tills for school meals。 Instead, we offer an online payment system (WisePay) where parents, when they have access to the Internet, can top up their child’s account using a credit or debit card.
A guide to using the cashless payment system can be downloaded here and provides information for those who may be concerned about the use of biometric data.
