Healthy Eating at Pendle Vale
Here at Pendle Vale College, we encourage healthy eating, our current catering provider Hutchinson’s Catering Services provides breakfast, break service and lunch provisions.
A free breakfast for all students is served from 8.00am each morning and for students along with break service which is offered to all year groups which is served in the main dining area and café area.
Lunch menus are changed weekly and run over a three-week period. For further information regarding the meals provided, please contact the College.
If your child has any specific dietary requirements or any allergies, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s Head of Year who will be able to liaise with the Kitchen Manager to ensure that special provision can be made.
Cashless System
Pendle Vale College operates a cashless catering system called Live Register. Your child’s finger print taken and/or a pin is given usually on their first day at the College, and parents then top up their child’s account online through Scopay. They will then use the biometric technology at each serving point to pay for their food. For more information, on how to access SCOPAY please click the link below.
