Stratford School Food

We take the provision of food extremely seriously at Stratford School. All our food is prepared on site by qualified staff using locally sourced food whenever possible. We work with local companies to ensure that students receive good quality products at a highly affordable price.

ParentMail  is our online payment service which allows you to pay for school food quickly and easily on your smartphone, tablet or computer. You can download a free app from the Apple Store or from the Google Play Store or log in via their website. Click on the Accounts section and select Dinner Top Up next to your child's name. Enter the amount you wish to add to the account and follow the payment instructions.

To view purchases, click on Dinner Top Up, select Statements at the bottom of the screen and then select a month for a list of transactions.

Students with special dietary requirements can pre-order daily with the very friendly kitchen team. We can cater for Gluten Free, Halal and Dairy Free Diets, but just ask and we will do our best for you. We are a nut free kitchen and would hope that nuts were not brought into the school, to help those with nut allergies.

The cost of a hot meal is £2.90. Meal deals are available and cost £3.40. The full menu is available in the Lower and Upper School Canteens and in the Sixth Form Common Room. Jacket potatoes and hot pasta are also available daily.

Grab & Go Hot provides light bites, not full meals, during break at all locations. These items are also available during lunch at the outside Hatch together with drinks and treats for those wanting some fresh air.

The After School Kitchen service provides an opportunity for students to buy a snack before going to clubs, going home or waiting for the bus.
