How can I buy lunch?


If you are buying lunch, you do this in the canteen. The canteen does not take cash, so you need to make sure that your parents have topped up your Arbor account in advance.


You will then be able to pay either by:Fingerprint Reader

- tapping your blue key fob on the machines in the hall.

- resting your thumb on the machine in the hall.

Whether you pay by fob or fingerprint will depend on what your parents have decided is best for you.

On your first day, we will take your fingerprint if your parents have agreed that we can. If they have said no, we will give you a key fob instead. You will need to keep this very safe.


If you are buying a hot lunch, you may eat in the hall or outside, if the weather is nice.

If you are bringing a packed lunch, you may eat in your tutor room (if you are in a Science lab, your tutor will tell you where else you can eat) or outside if the weather is nice.


If you are wondering what the food is like, have a look at the example menus below:
