In Years 7 to 11 it is forbidden for students to leave the school. They may eat either a school meal or their own packed lunch in the Stamford Hall.

Opening times are as follows:

The Stamford Hall operates a cashless system.  We have recently introduced a Biometric fingerprint system for students to purchase their food.  You will need to give your consent when completing the consents on your Admissions Form.  We will still continue to use the Smart Card system for the interim.  Money can be topped up by parents/carers using ParentPay. Parents/carers of year 7 students joining in September will be provided with ParentPay account activation details.

Please ensure enough money is put in the account (£5 - £10 approximately) ready for their first day of term and meals going forward. You can top up the account whenever you like to make sure your child has enough money for his lunches.

If your account falls into a negative balance, you will be sent reminders. It is recommended to set up Parent Pay alerts to let you know when your balance drops to a certain level.

Lost or broken cards must be reported to Sodexo in the Stamford Hall and replacement cards will cost £5. Payment for the new cards should be made on ParentPay.  Once you have paid for your child’s replacement card please ask him to bring the receipt (paper copy or on a mobile phone) to Resources and your child can collect his replacement card from the Stamford Hall before the start of the school day or during morning break.
