Catering at Risedale
Here at Risedale, our dedicated catering team takes great pride in preparing a wide variety of healthy and delicious meals every day. Our food is always freshly prepared, and we make an effort to use locally sourced ingredients from the Yorkshire region. We supply a range of healthy meals, snacks, and drinks at both break and lunchtime.
To help you get the most from your money, we offer a range of 'Meal-Deals' in our canteen, which provide great value for pupils. These deals include a daily main meal option of 1 course for £2.50 or 2 courses for £2.90.
Cashless System
Risedale operates a cashless system for purchasing food. Pupils can add money to their account at the Reval Machines in the dining hall, or parents can top up their child's account online through ParentPay. ParentPay also allows you to check your child's balance and view a history of their purchases.
Free School Meals
If you think your child may be eligible for Free School Meals, or if you are unsure, please apply via the North Yorkshire Council's Free School Meals website page.
At Risedale, your child's Free School Meal (FSM) allowance can be spent at lunchtime only. This is to ensure they get the benefit of a proper two-course main meal. Your child's daily FSM allowance will automatically cover the cost of the two-course meal deal, ensuring they have a balanced and filling lunch at no extra cost. We recommend that pupils bring a plain water bottle to school rather than purchasing drinks, so they can have the full benefit of their FSM for food. Pupils are also welcome to bring a snack for break time if they wish.
Dietary Requirements & Allergies
We aim to meet the dietary needs of our pupils and staff; please inform the school of any allergies or dietary requirements your child may have, which can then be passed on to the school Catering Manager.
