School meals at Outwood Academy Hindley are managed by Caterlink who provide a varied 3-weekly menu that changes to reflect seasonal product availability. Students are offered a selection of locally sourced food and drink including a main meal option, grab and go items, freshly made sandwiches, tray bakes and desserts and fresh fruit. We aim to provide a varied experience using healthy, freshly made meals to enable them to reach their full potential with their day-to-day learning at school.

We operate a cashless catering system at Outwood Academy Hindley. Each student has an account which parents can access online to credit with funds; purchases are made by students from this account. Parents can also view any purchases made.

At the start of the academic year, students will be given a letter with their iPay impact account details. If you have not received this letter or have any queries, please contact the academy on 01942 767704 to request a replacement.

A number of students may be eligible for free school meals. If you think this may apply to you, please contact Wigan Council by phoning 01942 489002 or visiting the Wigan Council website to complete the application form. If a student is entitled to free school meals their account is automatically credited each day with sufficient funds to purchase a main meal of the day, a dessert and a drink.
