School Meals
We have a cafeteria that provides snacks at morning break and a varied lunch-time menu. Facilities are available for pupils who prefer a packed lunch. Menus are published on the website here
Working in partnership with our catering contractor, Chartwells, the college operates a cashless catering system. On their first day at the college, pupils will have a scan of their finger taken, which is then converted into a digital signature. By placing their finger on a reader they can access their accounts, which can be “topped up” by sending a cheque payable to ‘Compass Group (UK) Ltd’, or by loading cash on to the revaluers which are situated around the college. There is a daily ‘spend limit’ programmed into the system of £5 which can be increased by making a written request to the kitchen or via e-mail to cashless@strichardscc.com. If problems are encountered with Parentpay, or if you wish your son/daughter to use a card instead of the fingerprint system, please contact the kitchen directly on 01424 224721.

Free School Meals
Children whose parents are in receipt of certain ‘support’ payments are entitled to free school meals for their children. If you think that your child may be entitled to free school meals, please ask at Reception for an application form. Information regarding eligibility is available at www.eastsussex.gov.uk.
