Excellent features include:
To ensure their safety, students are not permitted to leave the Academy premises at break time.
ALL food and drink must be consumed in the Restaurant.
Academy provides breakfast and lunch in the Restaurant. Breakfast costs should work out between £2.00 and £2.50. Lunch menus will offer variety, including Halal and a vegetarian alternative. Lunch costs should be between £2.80 and £4.00. All food will be freshly prepared each day.
A selection of fresh fruit, cakes and yoghurts will be available. The Academy suggests £3.50 for lunch and an optional £2.00 for Breakfast as a suitable daily allowance. Hot drinks are available from vending machines at a reasonable cost. Water can be obtained free of charge.
We always aim to keep the price of ‘healthy option’ items, ie vegetables, salad and fruit, as low as possible to encourage the students to eat a balanced diet.
Please note that Sandwell Academy operates a "Cashless System" and requires parents to use "Parent Pay" to place money on an account so students can purchase food via the use of a biometric reading of your child's finger print.
All students are welcome to bring their own packed lunches to the Academy and will join the other students in the Restaurant.
Families qualifying for financial support with meals will receive the equivalent of £3.50 per day. This should be used to obtain lunch. Students do not need to identify themselves when passing through the till as this will be done automatically via the cashless system. Every effort will be made to maintain confidentiality. Students who require breakfast should bring the required amount of money.

When Academy trips and visits are to take place parents will receive appropriate information concerning meals prior to the visit or trip taking place.
