School Catering

Lunchtime is one of the key parts of our school day. Regardless of whether pupils opt for school meals or a packed lunch, pupils sit down together and eat together.

We also encourage our staff to eat and spend time with the children to model good conversations, good behaviours and good habits.

Staff enjoyspending time with pupils as this strengthens our relationship with the young people in our care which means our staff know our pupils well and are able to identify any issues should they arise.

MENU

Our menu has been designed using a wide variety of meal options to and provides a real choice.

Our kitchen staff prepare meals to a high standard; using fresh herbs and raw ingredients.

We also eliminated the use of plastic and actively encourage our children to recycle.
