Welcome to Oak Diner

From September 2024 The Pantry will no longer be the school’s catering provider. We will manage catering in-house and our new name is Oak Diner. Our aim will be to provide flavoursome, nutritionally balanced food to our pupils and students. We have exciting new menus for break and lunch times for both the main school and Sixth Form – see below.

Ordering and payments

Break time

Pupils can buy snacks in the dining hall during break time when you add credit to your child’s account. Don’t forget to set up alerts so you can top up when the balance is low. To help pupils with budgeting and provide certainty for parents that no unauthorised spending can happen, we do not offer credit facilities, meaning no pupil is able to purchase items with insufficient funds. There is also a daily spend limit so pupils cannot spend of all their allowance at once. Parents and carers can view daily expenditure in the iPayImpact system (https://www.ipayimpact.co.uk/IPI/Account/LogOn).

Lunch

We offer pupils a range of hot options during our lunch service; these are paid for in the same way as breaktime by topping up on iPayImpact. Parents/carers can pay on iPayImpact anytime or apply for free school meals – see FSM section of our website for further information.

Healthy eating

Crisps, sweets, chewing gum and other confectionary are banned from Oak Wood School. Thank you for your support on this. In addition to this, at the end of the day pupils are discouraged from visiting local shops to buy sweets or junk food: they should go straight home.

Dietary Requirements

The school is committed to accommodating different dietary requirements. For example, we offer vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options, and halal meat. If your child has an allergy or special dietary requirement, please email the kitchen with this information and they will do their best to accommodate.
