Catering

St Bede's operates a cashless system for students buying food and drink at school.  Students access their canteen accounts via fingerprint recognition at the tills.  Accounts can be checked and topped up by parents/carers using their Wisepay account. To access Wisepay, please click on the following LINK, or use the app. For more information about Wisepay, please follow the link to our Finance and Wisepay page, here.

Students can spend up to £5.00 per day on canteen food. Most students opt to use the canteen at break and lunchtime so ensuring students are left with funds for the main meal at lunchtime is the best way forward!

If you would like to increase or decrease the amount your child can spend please contact our Finance Office on 01223 568816 or email finance@stbedes.cambs.sch.uk.

Please note; for peace of mind, alerts are provided should any account balance drop below £10.

Change of Catering Provision – September 2025

We are pleased to announce that from September 2025, our catering services will be provided by Innovate.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Pabulum for their service over the past six years.

Innovate brings a strong track record of success in other Cambridgeshire schools, and we are excited to welcome them to St Bede’s. They will be working closely with our current catering team to deliver an exciting new food offering that we hope will be well received by all.

Further details, including sample menus and additional information, will be shared shortly.

Key Information:

Payments: School meals will continue to be paid for via Wisepay. Please ensure your account is topped up ahead of the new term.
New Tills: Over the summer, our tills will be upgraded to accept contactless payments for added convenience.

We look forward to this new chapter in our school catering and warmly welcome Innovate to our community.
