School Café & WisePay

Café

Students can grab breakfast before school starts with the café being open from 8.20am. We are then open for lunch offering a selection of hot and cold choices using fresh, high quality and locally sourced ingredients, cooked on site every day.  Choices include a hot main meal, vegetarian main meal, jacket potatoes with toppings, pasta bar, homemade soup in the colder months, hot pudding, homemade cakes & biscuits. A huge selection of ‘grab and go’ items including baguettes, paninis, wraps and burgers to name a few. Plus we have a salad bar bursting with healthy homemade salads where students can help themselves to their favourites. We have a large modern café with seating for 185 and a Pod in the quad offering a range of snacks and food to go for main school.

The Sixth Form common room offers a vibrant café culture with a selection of student-friendly snacks and beverages including barista coffee.

WisePay

Students use their Wisepay accounts linked to their thumbprint to pay for food, which speeds up the queues and no need to bring cash into school. You can make payments at a time convenient to you, even when the school is closed. It’s safe and secure to use; you have your own private account and balances can be viewed at any time, showing what has been purchased by your child.

There is a WisePay App that can be used on your mobile phone to make logging in to your child’s account easier.

The WisePay app has been updated with additional features – find out more in the User Guide and FAQs. Our organisation code is 76179466

WisePay App FAQs

WisePay is the school’s secure online payment system, an easy way to pay for trips, transport, tickets or add credit to a child’s dinner money account. Students can make purchases from the Café using their thumbprint, which is biometrically scanned and linked to their account.

WisePay helps parents see what their child is buying, stops cash being brought into school and reduces frustrating queues. A WisePay app can be downloaded to your mobile phone to make logging in to your child’s account easier. Our organisation code is 76179466
