Catering
School meals are provided by Harrison caterers. The on-site catering team prepare fresh food on site that fulfils all current Government requirements for healthy living. We aim to make students aware of the importance of healthy eating and adopting a healthy lifestyle, particularly through regular sporting participation.
A choice of hot meals, including a vegetarian option, is served daily as well as a more deli style section serving baguettes, pasta, soup and baked potatoes. Healthy eating is important for the students so that they can have a nutritious tasty meal. All meat is Halal. There is also a food service at morning break time where students can buy healthy snacks and drinks.
Students should not bring in sweets, sugary foods, chewing gum, fizzy drinks or energy drinks particularly those with a high caffeine content as part of the academy’s commitment to Healthy Eating.
Cashless School
We operate a cashless biometric system to pay for meals to make the dinner service as speedy as possible. The students are set up on this system as soon as they join Ernest Bevin Academy.
Parents use Arbor Pay to pay for food (and trips and other items) via their website, mobile phone app or use the large network of PayPoint locations in convenience stores and supermarkets around the country.
Parents joining the academy will be given a log in and information about how to set up an account. (To Register: Please follow the link in the email or text you received from your school, or request a link from them.)
Staying hydrated
We encourage students to bring their own water bottle which they can refill at the water fountains that are available. This means students stay hydrated and reduce plastic waste.
