School Meals at Beckfoot
Catering at Beckfoot Oakbank School is managed by Facilities Management, the Bradford Council Catering Service.
Our overall aim is provide nutritious food to all of our students. We offer a varied for all tastes and cultures and provide a pleasant environment and atmosphere for students to eat in.
Cashless Catering
We operate a cashless catering system in school, which shares the common biometric database that is used for our printing system and library books. Students accounts can be topped up in two ways: parents can either deposit funds through the ParentPay website, or students can put cash in on of the two revaluation units in the atrium. ParentPay will also allow you to see what your child has been buying and consuming while at school.
For students entitled to free school meals, their daily allowance will automatically be credited to their account each day. Meal deals are available from all counters and consist of a main meal and pudding or home bake or water. These cost £2.80, the value of a free school meal.
Fresh drinking water is provided at various points in the school to ensure students can fill up their bottles.
Free School meals
Students who are entitled to Free School Meals have their daily allowance automatically credited to their Cashless Card Account each day in time for break (any unspent allowance will be removed at the end of the school day). Students can top this up with additional money if they want to.
