HEALTHY SCHOOL MEALS
Food
Food matters! Lunch is a big part of everyone’s day at school, for students and staff alike. We are proud of the excellent team who deliver healthy school meals for the whole community.
Breakfast is available every day from 0745 for a small charge of £3 for those who prefer to come into school early. Think buffet breakfast: a full range of cereals, toast, pastries, drinks and cooked options. Parents often ask if they can take advantage too…
At lunchtime, we carefully manage our Big and Small Refectories to give everyone the chance to enjoy a proper meal. There are always at least six options: two mains (one vegetarian), two pasta options, sandwiches and a salad bar with protein options. And of course dessert!
Boarders have supper Monday to Thursday and the boarding Common Room is always full of extra treats and fruit.
Snacks are available from the Tuck Shop in break and students may bring in snacks, too, with rules around allergens and healthy eating.
Middle and Upper Sixth (Years 12-13) have access to the Red House Cafe, which serves coffee, smaller food options, such as cheese toasties, and bigger lunches for those who would prefer a quick option as an alternative to the Refectories.
Our son regularly tells us how much he enjoys the school lunches and we are grateful for the care taken to cater to his dietary requirements.
