Every day, students have the choice between a hot meal option, a ‘Grab & Go’ option and cold meal options. All food is sourced from reputable and respected suppliers. The food is bought in and then made, according to Trust recipes and procedures, in the kitchen at St. Michael’s. The academy is fully compliant with all food and hygiene standards. The hot meal options will always include a full hot meal and a vegetarian option for any child wanting to sit down in the school bistro to eat. The ‘Grab & Go’ option is a hot food option that students can select such as a pasta pot or a fajita wrap. The cold food option will always include a wide range of sandwiches, rolls and wraps to cater for all student tastes. In the main bistro there is a salad bar that is popular with many students as either a main meal or as a side option. For dessert, fruit and cookies are available each day. We run a three weekly menu cycle for our hot food and ‘Grab & Go’ options. These can be viewed in the link below. We value the views of our students and collect these on a half-termly basis from our students. As a parent, should you wish to contact us to share your views about, or if you have any questions about your child’s dining experience, please click the link below and let us know. #### [Contact Us](https://stmichaels.bhcet.org.uk/contact) BHCET Secondaries Menu 2025 4.14 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-michael-s-catholic-academy-3/files/documents/BHCET_Secondaries_Menu_2025.pdf) BHCET Christmas Dinner Menu 280 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-michael-s-catholic-academy-3/files/documents/BHCET_Christmas_Dinner_Menu.pdf) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-michael-s-catholic-academy-3/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/school-meals/107.png)](https://files.schudio.com/st-michael-s-catholic-academy-3/images/gallery/school-meals/107.png) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-michael-s-catholic-academy-3/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/school-meals/106.png)](https://files.schudio.com/st-michael-s-catholic-academy-3/images/gallery/school-meals/106.png) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-michael-s-catholic-academy-3/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/school-meals/105.png)](https://files.schudio.com/st-michael-s-catholic-academy-3/images/gallery/school-meals/105.png) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-michael-s-catholic-academy-3/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/school-meals/104.png)](https://files.schudio.com/st-michael-s-catholic-academy-3/images/gallery/school-meals/104.png) ### Free school meal entitlement Pupils whose parents receive the following support payments are entitled to receive free school meals: - Income Support (IS). - Income based jobseekers allowance (IBJSA). - Support under part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999; or Child Tax Credit, provided they are not entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual income (as assessed by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs), that as of 6th April 2011 does not exceed £16,190 (this amount may change). - Income-related employment and support allowance. - Guarantee element of State Pension Credit. - Children who receive IS or IBJSA in their own right are also entitled to receive free school meals.
