Catering at Abbey Grange is provided by Caterlink, who prepare, cook and serve from our in-school kitchen.

At Abbey Grange we operate a cashless system, so that when money has been paid into your account (either online through ParentPay or by cash using PayPoint). Please ensure your child has enough credit on their card to purchase food each day.
Students are set with a daily spending limit on their card to prevent them spending all their money in one day. This limit is currently £9.99 per day however this can be changed at your request.Please contact the school office if you wish to change your limit.
Parents/carers are requested to speak to their children to ensure they do not overspend on their card. We frequently have students spending too much at morning break, who then do not have enough money to buy a lunch.
If your child receives Free School Meals, they will have £2.55 added to their account daily. This can be used on their choice of food and drink, or they can purchase a meal deal (we will top up the extra 10p needed).
Your child may be entitled to free school meals if you are in receipt of one or more of the following benefits:
Children who get paid these benefits directly, instead of through a parent or guardian, can also get free school meals
