New Canteen Arrangements for 2021-22

Following the success of the break arrangements last year, we are intending to keep this in place for the academic year 2021-22.

Year groups 7,8,9 and 10 will have one opportunity to visit and purchase food from the canteen: for Year 7 and Year 8 that is at 11.00 am. The two year groups will enter the food area from different doors and be catered for in different parts of the canteen. For Year 9 and Year 10 the time allocated is 12.30.  Years 9 and 10 will enter the food area through different doors and be seated in different parts of the canteen. GMS is recommending that parents and carers of these year groups provide a snack for the break when food cannot be purchased.

Year 11 is being accommodated in a separate area and, therefore, will be able to buy food in both breaks. Likewise, as the sixth formers have their own canteen outlet, food can be brought by them at more than one time.

Payment is via WisePay only. Once the funds are on a student’s account, food is easily purchased at the point of delivery. The sixth form Cafe 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 £2.50.
• 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.
