Tucasi
“Students that eat a healthy, well balanced diet are better able to concentrate within class and are more likely to be receptive to learning.”
The school canteen is run by Innovate Services Ltd. Innovate offer a varied menu of good nutritious food that students enjoy in keeping with our Healthy Schools status. The menu rotates every six weeks and provides good value. Snacks, drinks and main meals are available every day.
The canteen is open during morning break and lunch break.
Allergies and Dietary requirements
Thamesmead is a nut-free school and the canteen can also accommodate allergy and dietary requirements. Labelling of products is in line with Natasha’s Law – more details are in the flyer below.

Payments for School Meals/Cashless Catering
Parents can top up their child’s canteen account using the online Tucasi system. Students new to Thamesmead are given a link code to use the Tucasi system when they join Thamesmead. Parents will be asked to given consent for their child’s biometric details to be used with the fingerprint payment system in the canteen. (This is totally secure and more details about the way our data is stored is available on request). Students’ parents who prefer not to give consent for this, can still give their name at the tills instead of paying by fingerprint.
Online payments by credit or debit card for Innovate Services are processed by Cunninghams, and so your bank statement would display ‘Cunninghams’ for payments made for the canteen via Tucasi.
