Catering Services
At The William Allitt Academy all food cooked on-site is prepared by our qualified and experienced catering team. Students have a choice of 2 cafeterias serving a wide selection of fare at morning break and lunch time.
The school has worked hard to provide a wide selection of healthier alternatives for sale in the dining room. We also promote healthy eating issues in lessons. We encourage students who are bringing a packed lunch to school to make a healthy selection too. Please be aware that glass containers should not be used for reasons of safety.
We have a cashless payment system for all meals and snacks purchased in school. Each student has a personal account from which payments can be taken using a biometric based computer system. Money can be added to the students accounts using ParentPay or using one of the cashpoints in school. More information about our Online Payments can be viewed here
