Catering and Free School Meals
Our menus are planned on a 3 week cycle - click below to see some examples - with a range of options available that provide a well-balanced and flavoursome lunch for our students and staff.
We will consult with students, ask them to sample new foods and give us their feedback so we can keep our menus fresh and exciting.
Throughout the year will offer special theme days (including Mexican, Chinese and many more).
