Students are only allowed to bring the following drinks into the school:
The school only sells the drinks listed above. The water and flavoured water must be clear and see-through. These items must be in a clear plastic bottle. These are the only types of drinks that are acceptable within the school. No energy or fizzy drinks are permitted and all drinks must be under 1 litre in capacity. Water fountains are available throughout the school for students to refill their bottle outside of lesson times.
Students have a designated restaurant in school and they must eat their lunch in the area in which they purchased it. They are not permitted to take food onto the corridors or outside. Packed lunches must be kept in a lunch box, container or bag and must be eaten in the year group designated eating area. Drinks, which are part of a packed lunch, must meet the drinks requirements outlined in this policy.
We are a healthy school and as such, the following items of food are not allowed in the school:
Any items not permitted will be confiscated and must be collected by parents within 48 hours before being discarded.
Chewing gum is not permitted in any aspect of the academy site; any student found chewing will be issued a C5 consequence and any chewing gum will be confiscated.

Follow these steps to top up your child’s balance:
Pupils are welcome to bring a packed lunch from home. We encourage healthy choices such as fresh fruit, vegetables, and wholegrain foods to support their learning and wellbeing throughout the day.
If your child has any dietary requirements or allergies, please inform the school so we can make suitable arrangements.
