Break and Lunch

At Alde Valley Academy, we believe that break and lunchtime are essential parts of the school day—providing students with the opportunity to refuel, recharge, and connect with peers in a welcoming and supportive environment.

Our catering partner, Edwards & Blake, delivers a diverse and nutritious menu tailored to the needs of secondary school students. Their offerings include freshly prepared hot meals, such as BBQ beef lasagne and sweet chilli chicken noodle pots, as well as vegetarian options like chestnut mushroom and mozzarella lasagne. For those seeking lighter fare, a variety of 'Grab & Go' items are available, including filled wraps, salad boxes, dessert pots, yogurt granola, and hand-cut fresh fruit pots. 

All meals adhere to the Government’s School Food Standards and the bronze Food for Life standards, ensuring that students receive balanced nutrition to support their wellbeing and academic performance. 

We encourage all students to take advantage of these meal options, fostering a sense of community and promoting healthy eating habits. Our dining spaces are designed to be inclusive and comfortable, aligning with our school values of Aspire and Achieve, Lead with Kindness, and Stronger Together.
