Catering

Watling Academy are working with Cucina to deliver a high-quality food service that offers a range of options that are both healthy and appealing to students, and great value for parents and carers.

Breakfast service commences at 8am, with hot and cold food available.

At break and lunchtime, a range of “grab and go” options are available, as well as traditional hot meals. The lunch menu is regularly updated, to include seasonal produce, and reflect curriculum and cultural events.

In September 2025, we are launching a new catering provision for our Sixth Form cohort, introducing an exciting range of new products, similar to those available in high street coffee shops.

More details on the offer and the tariffs can be viewed below.

Cashless Catering

Watling Academy operates a cashless catering system. Parents and carers can top up their child(ren)’s account at any time, via IRIS Parentmail. This system is also used for all school communications, and we recommend that all parents and carers activate their accounts, to ensure that they are kept fully informed of everything that is going on!           

If you have any queries regarding our catering provision, free school meals or charges, please email operations@watling.academy
