Cowes Enterprise College offers a large, open-plan canteen area with additional seating available in our sheltered ‘inside-outside’ area.
The canteen at Cowes Enterprise College is served by education catering specialists, Caterlink. Healthy eating is at the very heart of Caterlink’s approach to food. They wholeheartedly encourage balanced diets and their policy of purchasing a range of seasonal produce from local and regional suppliers enables them to deliver exceptional value.
The canteen is open for breakfast items from 7.45am, offers a selection of snacks and drinks at break time and a range of hot meals, sandwiches, soups and salads at lunch time.
Themed weeks, ‘destination days’ and monthly ‘food heroes’ add excitement and interest to Caterlink’s diverse and changing menus.
Cashless Catering
The academy operates a cashless catering system for purchasing items from the canteen. Money can be paid into a student’s account online through Scopay.
Parents are able to check an account’s balance and view purchases on the Scopay website.
If you require an invitation letter to access a Scopay account please contact the main academy reception.
