Studying Is Thirsty Work!

Burnage Academy is an outstanding secondary school for boys, educating just over 900 11-16 year old pupils from Burnage as well as the wider Manchester area. It is one of the top performing schools for boys in the North of England.

Meeting The Demand & Reducing The Queues

Supplying drinks is part of the schools catering provision but it was proving difficult to meet demand in short breaks as a result there was a problem with long queues at the catering facility.

  • Short breaks demanding quicker throughput
  • Reduce queuing
  • Reduce student frustration
  • Increase student hydration

Healthy Drinks Vending

Livewell Vending were approached as they had a track record in providing healthy drinks vending in schools.

  • Low & zero sugar drink options
  • Wide range of drinks
  • All bottles manufactured from recycled packaging
  • Fully recyclable bottles
  • Cashless payment

The Hydration Stations

  • Modern Vending with stylish design
  • School compliant low and no sugar drinks
  •  Eco-friendly drinks packaging to eliminate single use plastic
  • Quick and easy self-serve provision
  • Integration with school catering payment system
  • Remote data collection to optimise stock control by Livewell

Livewell supplied two ‘Hydration Stations’ stocked with a variety of ‘low-sugar’ drinks in a variety of flavours, all in rPET bottles made from recycled plastic.

The drinks have been really popular with pupils, who enjoy using the machine and can get an ice cold drink in 15 seconds.

Queues at the counter have reduced significantly, and the catering team are now able to serve more meals to pupils during the short breaks.
