Free School Meals/Catering
What food is on offer for mid-morning break?
We have a range of delicious snacks to help keep students focused for the day, including breakfast muffins, bagels, fruit pots, yoghurts, smoothies and more!
Do you sell confectionary and fizzy drinks?
Our offer follows the government school food standards which are designed to help children develop healthy eating habits and ensure that they have the right energy and nutrition they need to get the most of their day. Therefore, we do not sell chocolate confectionary or sugary / sweetened drinks. Instead, we offer desserts, cakes and biscuits and a range of water, fruit juices and both still and carbonated juice/water combination drinks.
What food is available for lunch?
Each student is different, so we make sure we have a variety of hot and cold options available to cater for everyone.
As well as familiar staples like jacket potatoes, paninis, salads, soups and baguettes, we have quick handheld food for those on the go - pasta pots, pizzas, nachos, and chicken wings, and for bigger appetites, delicious hot dinners and daily specials including curries, chillis, stews, lasagnes, burgers, enchildadas, noodles and lots more! For afters, we offer a selection of freshly baked muffins, brownies, cookies, and desserts.
