Catering Information and Useful Links

Catering at this academy

InnovateWe are delighted to partner with the students, teachers, and staff. Our aim, along with the school, is to provide all students with an exceptional catering experience. Our very talented Executive Chef and the fantastic catering team will be serving exciting menus packed with healthy ingredients, that are full of variety, and with loads of interesting new things to try.

It’s important that the food tastes as good as it looks, and we’re sure you won’t be disappointed.

What’s on the menu? 

Innovate has long been considered the most inventive school caterer and that’s because we’re very clear about our food. All our dishes are prepared every day using quality, fresh and seasonal ingredients that are responsibly sourced. As well as ensuring the food on the plate is healthy, we want our customers to understand the importance of eating the right foods and help them with their food and nutrition journey. Here’s a taste of what’s to come:

A huge selection of 'grab and go' items including baguettes, paninis, burritos and salads to name a few, all now using our barcode system to help speed up the queues.

A variety of healthy, tasty main meals prepared fresh every day from carefully selected ingredients. The menu will follow a similar weekly pattern so you know what to expect, providing over 35 choices each day in addition to the ever popular chef specials, fortnightly themed events and loyalty schemes.

Our Street Vibes range, global street food that tours the world. It’s always changing; from Korean fried chicken, Chinese bao buns, to Greek souvlaki, there’s always something new to try!

A salad bar bursting with homemade healthy salads such as pomegranate quinoa, roasted sweet potato and rocket, or chilli, orange and beetroot. All pre-boxed and ready to be collected.

Theme days; Harvest Week,, Chinese New Year, British Pie Week, Olympics and Love British Food Fortnight, and many more.

What meal deals are available?

The most popular meal deal is the Blue Dot meal deal Students can choose any 4 items displaying a blue dot sticker. Items include selected rolls, sandwiches, drinks, cakes and tray bakes and more!

The Blue Dot meal deal is also available to students who have an FSM allowance. I have a free school meal allowance.......what can I have?

We want to ensure that all of our customers have access to a healthy nutritious meal and, with this in mind, we ask anyone with an FSM allowance to select any items up to the daily allowance of £2.60.

Your child may be entitled to free school meals. Even if your child does not wish to eat free school meals, but is entitled to them, it's worth applying because for each child entitled to free school meals the Academy could receive funding to help with tuition, resources, coaching and extra assistance, https://www.gov.uk/apply-free-school-meals/croydon to find out if your child is entitled to free school meals. The meal value is £2.60

However, we ask that this includes a hot main meal, hot wrap, baguette or other nutritious snack plus a dessert & squash. Tell us what you think Once you’ve tried our service, let us know what you think.

ParentPay

The Academy does not accept payment by cash or cheque but instead enables all payments to be processed through ParentPayYou can top up your ParentPay account using your credit/debit card or by using cash at local stores where you see the PayPoint logo.

ParentPay is a very secure website and free to use for parents/carers and staff. Payments can be made for school meals, trips, music lessons, equipment and other activities.

ParentPay benefits our students and the Academy in many ways not least by removing the risks associated with students carrying cash to the Academy and reducing administration which creates more time to devote to educational support and the smooth running of the Academy. Not using cash is particularly important during the Covid-19 pandemic where exchanging cash or cheques could pose a potential risk of contamination. 

To use ParentPay you will need your unique user ID and password. Year 8-11 parents have previously been given your secure online account details which you would have been prompted to change these once you logged in and activate the account. Year 7 parents should receive a letter containing their user ID and password as soon as a child is fully registered as a student at the Academy so that they are able to start using ParentPay immediately. ParentPay holds an electronic record of your payments which you can view at a later date.
