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.

- An income – related employment and support allowance (ESA)
- Support under part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999

- Where a parent/carer is entitled to Working Tax Credit, during the four week period immediately after their employment ceases, or after they start work less than 16 hours per week, their children are entitled to free school meals.
- Children who receive IS or IBJSA in their own right are also eligible.
