academy canteen
The Academy's catering is provided by Aspens Services Limited.
Cashless Canteen
Our cashless system works really well, with students topping up on a regular basis, which in turn enables us to deliver a more efficient, faster service and to continue to provide wholesome, healthy and enjoyable meals at the lowest cost.
We would like to encourage more parents to send their children with a top up amount for the week, which then ensures that they purchase healthy, balanced meals from us for the whole week, rather than spending their dinner money in the local shops.
PARENTS – DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOUR CHILD IS EATING EVERY DAY?
Just email your child’s name (and cashless card number) to the email address below with the dates you wish to know about, and we can pull a report off the system with every purchase made with their card.
Or call our Catering Manager at the school on 0121 373 1647

4 Week Menus
All our menus meet the Government’s food and nutritional standards.
We input our menu into a software package called ‘Nutmeg’ with measures the recipes over a week against 14 nutritional requirements.
PROMOTIONAL DAYS
We run a number of themed days and promotional days throughout the year. These offer great value for money – new foods to try, and generally bring a bit of fun into the menu.
We also work with the Academy to link in with the curriculum, bringing to life some of the topics learnt in the classroom.
