Free School Breakfast  

We are delighted to offer a FREE breakfast provision in school for our children. We open our doors for breakfast club at 8am and students can have toast and a selection of cereals.  

 

Lunch Menus and Prices 

Sheffield Park Academy operates a cafeteria system with a wide choice of lunches.  

Students can choose from a freshly made lunch or a meal deal option consisting of a main meal and either fresh fruit, cake, or biscuit and access to water.  

The weekly menus consist of different types of food such as European, Indian, Mexican, Chinese, Italian, or Spanish dishes, and themed day menus.   

 

New Spring & Summer Menu 

We’re excited to share that our caterers are launching a brand-new Spring and Summer menu, bringing a fresh burst of seasonal flavours to our dining room and pods! 

The new menu focuses on balanced nutritious dishes to fuel busy days without compromising on taste, whilst using lighter, fresher ingredients - perfect for the warmer months. 

 

✨ What to look forward to:  

  • Fresh, seasonal dishes full of flavour 

  • Nutritious options to keep energy levels up throughout the day  

  • Theme days celebrating food from around the world – perfect for trying something different  

 

We encourage students and parents to keep an eye out for these exciting menu changes and join us in making lunchtime something to look forward to this spring and summer. 

Menus

 

Cashless Catering 

The Academy uses a biometric cashless catering system, and students access their allocated accounts by using finger scan identification. Student accounts must be in credit in order to purchase food and/or drinks – as cash payments are not accepted.  

We use ParentPay as a convenient way for parents/carers to pay for meals and other items such as trips, revision packs etc. You can book and pay securely online using a debit or credit card. Paying online gives you the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your money reaches the school safely.  

 

Packed Lunches 

Students are permitted to bring in their own packed lunch. Parents / carers are encouraged to provide packed lunches that have the right balance of food and nutrients and should not include large packets of crisps (or similar), large chocolate bars (or similar), or sweets. Fizzy drinks are not permitted.  

 

Free School Meals 

Entitlement to Free School Meals (FSM) is subject to local authority approval (based on current legislation). The FSM allowance covers the cost of a standard meal and is only available at lunchtime. Additional funds should be added if your child wishes to purchase other items.    

Further information, and how to apply, for Free School Meals can be found on the Sheffield Council website.  

 

Did You Know - Registering for free school meals can help the Academy 

If your child is eligible for free school meals, it's worth registering them even if they are not going to have the school lunch. Schools receive a 'pupil premium' - an extra payment for each eligible child which they can spend on useful services.
