The Canteen
Our canteen is CASHLESS!!! You will need an account to buy at breakfast, break and lunch times….
If you intend to eat in the school restaurant, you will need to set up an account by having your fingerprint scanned. A time will be set aside for you to register. You will have to pay money into your account by either one of the coin/note loaders on the ground floor or by dropping a cheque into reception. Parents can also pay money in on-line using Parent Pay.
When you go for your food or snacks you will just have your finger scanned and the price you pay will be taken from your account.
All meals are served with a choice of jacket potato, wedges, rice or pasta. There will be hot puddings served daily with custard; you can also have fresh fruit, yoghurt, and scones.
Drinks can be bought; water, (plain or flavoured), fresh juice or semi-skimmed milk. Freshly made sandwiches and salads will be available every day, as will hot home-made soup.
Select any combination of food items, each day different tasty homemade dishes, and different salad combinations to pick and mix from.
Around £2.20 will get you a hot dinner and a dessert/drink, or a grab bag.
You can bring your own lunch.

Sense of BelongingAfter so many years at your primary school, you will be used to the routine there. You will have things and people you like and things and people you don’t. However you feel about your school one thing is for sure – you know it.
Saddleworth School will be a big change, but it won’t be long before you feel that you belong there too.
See you on intake day
