Dear Parent/Carer,

Re: Catering Service Update

I am writing to explain how the temporary catering menu will work at North Academy. Due to covid-19 restrictions, all North schools have been informed by Catering that there can be only a limited hot food menu option. I realise that students will find this upsetting as they are used to a wide variety of delicious hot and cold meals. I have been informed that this is only a temporary measure and that it will be reviewed on a regular basis. It is important to know that it is not a school decision. I have written to North Tyneside Catering Services today to ask that they expand the options as soon as possible.

Our advice is that you look at the timetable attached below and speak to your child to see if they would like the hot food option that is available. If they are not happy with the menu choice then at this stage the best option would be to provide a packed lunch. Tutors will talk through this option with students in the induction week that is to come.

Yours faithfully,

Steve Campbell Principal
