DSTC is delighted to announce that we have commissioned a new catering company for the new academic year - Independent Catering.

Independent Catering have launched their new menus for the academic year which are attached below.

We will still be using Parent Pay for food in the canteen but will not be using biometric data (thumbs) as in previous years. As soon as your child starts back to school they will be issued with a fob to use to deduct payments from their Parent Pay account. This will be issued free of charge for the first one, but losing their fob will incur a £5 charge to replace it. This fob will be needed every day for use in the canteen.

There will no longer be the opportunity to use cash within the school so please can you ensure that your child has sufficient funds to obtain their meals each day.

If you have any questions about our current offering, please email office@dstc.kent.sch.uk and a member of our team with endeavour to get back to you shortly.

Should you feel that your child may qualify for free school meals please visit https://www.gov.uk/apply-free-school-meals and complete the application form.
