Meals
Our catering company, ASPENS, offers a varied menu with options for both hot and cold food. Each day there is a choice of a meal deal for £2.50 Vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Paying for Meals
The Academy runs a cashless payment system. To pay for your child’s meal you need to be signed up to our School Comms app (Gateway) – details of how to access this can be found HERE
Students in receipt of free school meals will have their account automatically credited with the allocated amount each day.
Biometric permission
Your child’s fingerprint is used to access the cash terminals in the atrium. On admission to City Academy Norwich, we ask that you give your permission for us to use your child’s biometric data (fingerprint). You can withdraw your consent at any time by writing to the school.
If you do not wish your child’s biometric information to be processed by the school, or your child objects to such processing, we will provide reasonable alternative arrangements that allow them to access the relevant services.
Account refunds
If your child leaves the Academy and you wish to have any remaining balance from your child’s account refunded, please email: office@canorwich.org with your child's name.
