School Meals
School meals have come a long way in recent years. Parents want to know their children are being offered healthy, nutritious and responsibly-sourced meals that will fuel their school day. Young people want variety and to try foods from different countries and cultures.
Our school catering teams will work in partnership with you and your pupils to understand what you want from your school meals, and develop menus that spark a foodie interest in young minds.
We are proud to work in partnership with Chartwells, our school catering provider, to offer nutritious, tasty, and balanced meals for every child. Chartwells are experts in school dining, with dedicated chefs and nutritionists creating menus that fuel learning and help children flourish.
Their seasonal menus include well-loved classics such as pasta, pizza, fish fingers, and roasts, alongside healthy vegetarian and vegan options. A variety of desserts, wraps, pittas, paninis, and toasties are also available, ensuring there is something to suit every taste.
Chartwells place great importance on safety and inclusivity. Their allergy management processes are nationally recognised and award-winning, giving parents peace of mind that children with food allergies or medical diets can enjoy their meals safely every day.
Throughout the year, pupils also enjoy special themed menus that celebrate seasons, traditions, and cultural events, adding variety and fun to lunchtimes.
Special Diets and Allergies
Every child deserves to feel safe, included, and cared for at mealtimes. Our catering partner, Chartwells, works closely with schools and families to make sure that pupils with allergies or other dietary requirements can enjoy a nutritious lunch with their friends.
