School Catering News
Brakenhale would like to introduce our new look dining hall to all the students. As a school we decided it would be best value and quality to go in house for our catering. We have been overwhelmed with the students and staff’s reaction on our first week and are looking forward to offering new and wonderful themed menus to them.
Just a reminder that it is much more efficient for the students to have had their fingers scanned to make their visit to the dining hall a quicker experience and also that they can still add monies to their accounts in the LRC with Mrs Daniels before school for it to be on the account by first break. We will also be running a competition for the students to rename the dining hall.
We are now serving a new breakfast menu and as of Monday, cut price products will be available from 3.05pm for an hour.
If you think your child will enjoy the catering a little too much you can put a daily limit on their account. Please just send me an email on btipper@brakenhale.co.uk.
