School Meals
The Academy runs two 'in-house' kitchens that provide a wide variety of high quality hot and cold snacks and main meals for pupils and staff across our site.
The option of bringing sandwiches is always there... but once you've tried the food you may not want to!
Any queries about the provision of school meals within the Academy should be directed to enquiries@biggleswadeacademy.org.
ALLERGEN ADVICE: As a school we are allergen aware, but we cannot guarantee that some of our ingredients are not produced in a factory which may contain allergens
Biggleswade Academy operates a cashless catering system which incorporates the latest technology and eliminates the need for pupils to carry cash throughout the day. The system is also biometric (see FAQ for more details) so there is no need for pupils to carry a card as it will recognise the thumb of your child at the tills.
All pupils will be shown how to use the system.
Any amount of money can be paid into a pupil's account and any money spent on food and drink will be deducted on a daily basis.
A daily 'spend limit' of £4.00 is programmed into the system, however, this can be increased or decreased for an individual pupil by making a written request to the school office.
We operate an 'opt-in' policy for this system and therefore require you to complete a form for this. If you choose not to have your child registered on the biometric system, your child will still be able to purchase food by telling the kitchen staff their name,
