Academy Lunches
At lunchtime we encourage students to have an Academy meal. These are cooked on site and are nutritionally balanced. We always offer a choice including vegetarian and Halal.
All of our meals comply with the latest healthy eating standards set by the government and Café O has been increasingly popular this year since new menus were introduced and a new chef joined us.
Please view our Academy lunch menu here
