Parents joining the college will be given a log in and information about how to set up an account.
College Caterers
College meals are provided by Edwards & Ward caterers who prepare food on site that fulfills all current Government requirements for healthy living. A choice of hot meals (including a vegetarian option) are served daily as well as baguettes, pasta, soup and baked potatoes. All meat is Halal. There is a also a food service at break time where students can buy healthy snacks and drinks.
We operate a cashless biometric system to pay for meals to make the dinner service as speedy as possible.
Breakfast Club
EBC offers a free Breakfast Club for all students from 8-8.30am by the Student Entrance with the support of the Magic Breakfast Club. Students are given a healthy breakfast of bagels, cereal and fruti juice. Research has shown that eating a healthy breakfast improves pupil concentration in lessons.
Healthy Eating
Students are welcome to bring a packed lunch; this should be eaten in the lunch hall. Jugs of water are available for students to help themselves to cups of water free of charge. We encourage families to provide healthy packed lunches. Students should not bring in sweets, sugary foods, chewing gum, fizzy drinks or energy drinks particularly those with a high caffeine content as part of the college’s commitment to Healthy Eating.
