The Trust believes that it is essential to provide all pupils with access to a varied, considered and well-balanced diet whatever their dietary requirements of preferences.
We want our pupils to enjoy food at school by encouraging good eating habits. Lunchtime should always be an exciting part of the day with lots of different, full-of flavour and healthy foods available.
To achieve this, we work with Miquill. Their mission is to give every child a nutritious meal that fills them up and that they love to eat. We want to give them a food experience that rivals the high street and teaches them about different flavours and cuisines from around the world! Lunchtime is a really important time of the school day – it allows your children to relax and socialise and gives them the energy to get through their afternoon classes. We take pride in making this important part of the day the best it can be.
The school menu features meat and vegetarian choices which are all freshly cooked with love. We source top quality ingredients from regional farmers to make sure everything that goes into our meals is fresh, environmentally friendly and of course, delicious. Your child’s health plays a huge role in the way we develop menus and cook our food. We meet the Government’s standards when it comes to food in schools and our menus are analysed to check they are balanced and healthy. We have a commitment to healthy, sustainable meals.
- We source locally and seasonally wherever possible including fruit, vegetables, dairy, meat and bakery items
- We only use Red Tractor assured meat and MSC assured fish
- We don’t use undesirable additives, and limit the amount of fat, salt and sugar in our meals
- We enrich our recipes with fruits & vegetables – even where you wouldn’t expect, such as in carrots in our sauces or fruit in our brownies
- We use whole grains in most cases as they are better for your child’s health.
