Canteen Food Service Arrangements 2023

For speed of service and to reduce congestion, access to the food service in the canteen is divided between Year groups across the two thirty-minute break sessions.

• Years 7 & 8 have access to the food service during break 1, which is between 11.00am and 11.30am.
• Years 9 & 10 have access to the food service during break 2, which is between 12.30pm and 1.00pm
• Year 11 have their own food servery, ‘The Pod’, which is located outside of the main canteen, and they are able to purchase food from ‘The Pod’ during both break sessions.

Payment is via WisePay only for Years 7-11. Once the funds are on a student’s account, food is easily purchased at the point of delivery

• Sixth Form students have their own Sixth Form Cafe which is open between 8.30am and 1.30pm

Payment can be via WisePay but the sixth form Cafe also accepts debit cards.

Innovate provides a highly successful catering operation on behalf of GMS, offering a wide range of healthy food options which follow the government guidelines on school meal provisions. Together with the school, the canteen strives to ensure no child is hungry. The staff work hard to cater to the tastes and preferences of all students in the school, which includes a mix of hot and cold meals on a daily basis. Allergy or dietary needs should be shared with the school so that the canteen provides good safe menus for all.

• The menu follows a revolving two-week cycle in line with the curriculum. Please see the separate menu and price list. The price of the main meal is £2.60.
• From time to time the choices on offer change and when there is adequate notice, these changes will be advertised on the website.
• The canteen has two chilled and ambient water machines that can be used to refill water bottles and we actively encourage students to use these.
