Free School Meals

If you are claiming certain benefits then you may be entitled to claim a free school meal allowance for your child. This is a benefit that is worth over £400 a year to you and a funding benefit for the academy. We would therefore urge you to claim should you think you are entitled.

The easiest way to check is to visit the London Grid for Learning Free School Meal Eligibility Checker which can be found by following the link below:

Here

If you are eligible please can you download the certificate and send it to us. We will then make sure that your child receives the benefit that they are entitled to.

Payment

We are a cashless Academy so parents / carers will need to only use our e-payment method to pay for dinner money, trips, music lessons etc . This can be done online using a very secure website called ParentPay . ParentPay holds an electronic record of your payments to view at a later date.

Already have a ParentPay account?
If you already have a ParentPay account, either with the Academy or another ParentPay school, you can simply login to that account and add your other children via the Add a child tab on your home page. You will need the username and password below to do this.

New to ParentPay?
Activate your account using the username and password below. You will be prompted to change these and to keep them safe and secure as your Username and Password for future logins. If you have two or more children at a ParentPay school, you only need to activate one account to create your ‘main account' and then add your other children via the Add a child tab on your home page.

Please visit www.parentpay.com and activate your account via the Account login area on the home page of the site.Once you have activated your account you can make online payments straight away.

Cash Payments

The Academy does not accept cash payments for the canteen, trips or other items but if this is your preferred option we can provide you with a bar code that you can use  at local stores where you see the PayPoint logo. You will still be able to see your balances via Parent Pay if you use this method.

Catering at this academy

The catering service is provided by Innovate Catering, part of the Compass Group.  Innovate Catering are a well-established and experienced school caterer.  The service is provided under contract with Harris Federation.

 

This link provides details of the current lunchtime menu service which you can see runs on a three weekly menu cycle.

Our menu has been created after extensive research into student preferences; it is also nutritious and compliant with all government guidelines.

The menu aims to offer more of what students want, including good food that can be eaten on the go as well as themed days to coincide with key dates such as Pancake Day, Burns Night, Diwali, etc.

The catering service includes an offering for breakfast, mid-morning break and lunch.

 

A typical grab 'n' go food and drink offering

The current tariff pricing is available in this link and demonstrates the full range of food and drink which is available.

The academy uses a cashless catering system for the food and drink purchases.

Here is a link to the Eatwell Guide (from Public Health England) – this provides a useful overview of what food groups make up a balanced and healthy diet.

If your child has a special diet and/or certain food intolerances, then we have a special diet procedure which contains a form for the parent/carer to complete and return – link here.

Your child may be entitled to free school meals. Even if your child does not wish to eat free school meals, but is entitled to them, it's worth applying because for each child entitled to free school meals the Academy could receive funding to help with tuition, resources, coaching and extra assistance. Find out if your child is entitled to free school meals by accessing this link. The meal value is £2.33.
