Catering at this academy
We 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 are 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.

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 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. However, we ask that this includes a hot main meal, hot wrap, baguette or other nutritious snack plus a dessert & squash.

Parent View
Parent View is the Ofsted online questionnaire survey tool that enables parents/carers or in fact anyone with an email address to comment on a school against a set list of questions. Therefore it can be completed at any time during an academic year by people who do not have a child at the Academy as well as those who do. However it is not possible for the responses to be validated as completed by parents/carers of students at the Academy. The Academy therefore also uses hard copies of the same survey questions during Parent Evenings throughout the year for each year group in order to verify that the survey responses are completed by a parent/carer with a child/children in a particular year group at the Academy and discuss anything raised with parents/carers directly and also pass feedback to staff and Governors.
