All of our school meals are freshly prepared every day in our school kitchen, by highly trained catering staff, using high quality, locally sourced, food.

In addition to this we limit foods high in fat, sugar and salt such as deep fried foods and items containing pastry. We include oily fish, wholegrains and fruit based desserts
The quality and safety of the food we serve is of paramount importance to us and we offer a service that is fully compliant with the Government Food Plan, being quality assured by the Food for Life Partnership’s Silver Food for Life Award.
All of our menus are fully compliant with the School Food Standards, but we go one step further by promoting healthy choices with initiatives such as the weekly Sugar Smart day. This means that one day a week there are only low sugar desserts and snacks available along with fresh fruit, educating students that low sugar alternatives can be just as delicious.
