Catering
Lunch Arrangements
The College Restaurant is managed by Caterlink Ltd (http://www.caterlinkltd.co.uk). They provide a good choice of fresh, tasty food that is locally sourced and nutritionally balanced.
We encourage students to take advantage of the excellent Restaurant at College during the morning break and lunch break. There is a set ‘Meal Deal’ available each day (including a dessert and a drink), which costs £2.30 (price in April 2017). Vegetarian options are always available. Chilled water is available from the restaurant and in Trow block; students are advised to bring water bottles which can be refilled at break and lunchtimes.
All students are expected to have lunch on the College premises. In exceptional approved circumstances, parents may apply for a lunchtime pass for their child(ren), on the understanding that they will supervise them during the lunch period and ensure that they return to College in time for the afternoon session.
Payment
We operate a Cashless Catering system which uses the latest biometric technology to scan each student’s finger. This system allows us to serve food quickly and efficiently and has reduced the amount of cash circulating within the school. Parents pay for meals in advance and can monitor the food choices made by their child.
