As a ‘Healthy School’, the range includes lots of healthy options, and caters for food allergies and intolerances. Students can enjoy hot snacks at lunch time as well as a selection of freshly made baps, sandwiches and baguettes with a variety of fillings. Each year group accesses their food at an individual Pod to reduce queuing times and support covid precautions. Students use their Wisepay accounts linked to their thumbprints to pay for food, which means faster queues and that they do not need to bring cash to school. Find out more about Wisepay here.
