Braunton Academy – Student Catering
Braunton Academy Catering Department in Isaac Hall, prides itself on the range of food options. We hold a 5-star Food Hygiene Rating, and all members of our Catering Team uphold this standard.
At Academy, we are dedicated to transforming school dining by providing fresh, locally sourced, nutritious meals that inspire healthy eating habits. Our ethos is built on quality, innovation, and a commitment to creating enjoyable, inclusive mealtime experiences for all students. We believe that good food fuels both learning and well-being, which is why we focus on high-quality ingredients, ethical sourcing, and environmentally responsible practices. Through collaboration with schools and communities, we aim to make a lasting impact - ensuring every child has access to wholesome, balanced meals that support their growth and development.
Free drinks – please ensure your child has a water bottle with them every day.
We aim to support families to assist spending on meals by providing free squash during break and mealtimes affording an extra 75p for food. Due to this after the February 2025 half term we will not be selling any packaged beverages, with this in mind could you assist with this process by providing a suitable drinks container for your child. Students entitled to a free school meal will have these supplied for them.
Lastly, we are closing our current Snack Shack and relocating it within the dining area, to minimise the impact on litter and the eating around the school site that has recently attracted more sea birds to areas of the school.
Below is a sample of the type of food that we offer, subject to availability, demand and seasonality.

Nut Free School
Due to some students having severe allergies, we are a nut free school. Please ensure that nut products are not brought in as part of students' packed lunches.
We use a cashless catering system.
In all behaviours at Lunchtime, students should carefully consider how they might negatively impact on others and act to avoid causing any upset.
