The Canteen
- The canteen offers Cashless Catering, click here for information.
- No physical money is used, instead money is debited from each pupil’s unique account.
- We work with the catering company Alliance in Partnership, Islington Council and the school council to ensure the quality of food is healthy.
- The menu alternates throughout a four week cycle, as detailed below, to make sure the choices are as diverse as they are healthy.
