The Excel Academy Uses AiP (Alliance in Partnership) to provide their catering/hospitality needs.
Established in 1998, AiP was founded on a fresh food ethos that looks to deliver the best customer service to staff and students on their lunch breaks.

Over 20 years on, we hold true to our principles of quality and trust, and today serve over 75,000 meals per day in 400 schools and colleges.

Top chefs and expert nutritionists have designed all our brands to focus on improving student well-being with tasty meals. Whether providing services on-site or delivered-in, our food is locally sourced, of the best quality, and priced affordably. The Excel Academy endeavours to meet the needs of all our customers. We produce Halal meals daily, and if we receive a request for a special diet, we will seek advice from local dieticians.

The Excel Academy operates a Biometric Cashless System which has a number of tools that are very useful, both to the customer and the Academy. Arbor Pay has now been introduced. Parents can check balances and top up pupil accounts from the app. Parents can also monitor what their child is eating. This will ensure customer confidentiality and make meal times more enjoyable.

This system can provide a record of the dietary intake of each student if requested by parents. It also provides the Academy with important information, such as the take up of school meals and trading information.

This information will be regularly updated so please keep checking.
