Healthy School Meals

Our School Catering Offer

Our current school catering partner is Juniper.  We offer a free breakfast and lunchtime meal for students.

Breakfast Club

Our free Breakfast Club operates from 7:30 AM to 8:20 AM.

Staff members will be available to assist with homework and reading. The menu features a variety of healthy breakfast options, including toast/bagels, fruit, juices, yoghurts, and cereals.

All students are welcome to have a free breakfast. Please ensure that students:

• Display good behaviour at all times.
• Do not bring their own food or drink, as all food must conform to Healthy School standards.
• Eat all food in the dining hall and not take it outside.

Lunch

As parents ourselves, we understand the importance of serving nutritious food to our children. Our caterer’s lunch menu is available here

• Simple: Meals are kept as simple as possible, using ingredients similar to what you’d use at home.
• Fresh: Lunches are handmade each morning.
• Nutritious: Recipes are carefully selected to provide the necessary nutrition for growing bodies
• Quality: We use the highest quality ingredients, including fresh fruit and vegetables and grade A meat.
