Catering and school meals
We operate a biometric purchasing system
The academy has a modern kitchen providing good quality meals for students, both hot and cold options. In addition to lunch, we also provide a break time snack service of both hot and cold food options.
We operate a biometric purchasing system, with a PIN option for those who prefer that access method. This process also means that students do not know who is in receipt of free school meals (FSM), as they all follow the same payment process. You can add funds to your child’s meal account via Parent Pay:
In addition, students can pay cash into the machine located in the canteen, which will be added to their lunch account.
Menu
A meal deal includes a main and a cookie or fresh fruit or a main and a bottle of water.
Our catering is provided by Caterlink.
Free meals
We encourage all parents/carers to apply for free school meals (FSM). If you are not sure that you are eligible, please complete an application and you will be informed of the outcome by the local authority. Find out more information about free meals and apply online on the local authority website – click here
Should you need a copy of your unique code to create a ParentPay account for your child, please email the academy on ercallwood@lct.education to request one. We would urge you to create an account as soon as possible as ParentPay can also be used to sign up and make payment for trips and visits, purchasing revision guides and topping up dinner monies.
