Catering Information

Lunchtimes are a really fun part of the school day with lots of different delicious and healthy foods for your child to enjoy, Chartwells is the leading provider of catering services to schools across the country and we are delighted that they are now working with the school.

Chartwells philosophy is Eat, Learn, Live which ensures we educate young people about how to lead a happy, safe and healthy lifestyle while contributing to a sustainable world.

A team of nutritionists and development chefs design each healthy, tasty and nutritious meal and desserts that are then taste tested by groups of children before they can appear on the menu.

Each meal is freshly prepared every day and you can be assured that a school meal will offer, two portions of fruit and vegetables, a dairy food item rich in calcium for strong bones and teeth, starchy carbohydrate to provide energy and a protein source to support the body’s growth and repair..

Throughout the academic year special theme days will be held; which create even more excitement and turn lunchtimes into a real event that are educational too. It’s all about encouraging the children to try different things, experience new tastes and learn a bit more about different foods and cultures.

Ordering

Our school uses Parentpay as a means for parents/carers to view the menu and pay for their chosen meals electronically. Children are able to choose their meals at home; to ensure we continue to reduce our food waste, we ask that meals are ordered one week in advance.
