We are delighted to work in partnership with our school meals provider Caterlink,
who prepare, cook, and serve from our onsite catering facility.
Caterlink provide a menu that is packed full of choice, and we encourage all our
pupils to eat a rainbow of fruit and vegetables. We want to provide your child with a
nutritious meal, but we also want them to have fun! Whether its National baking
week or Best of British, Caterlink run themes to bring something new to the table for
your child to try. Beyond the dining room, their dedicated Development Chefs offer
classes to teach children the basics of cooking as well as food education assemblies
in school on the importance of making healthy choices.
Children have a choice of nutritionally balanced meals each day, which include a
pudding, fresh fruit and yogurt or a delicious freshly baked home bake.
Food Allergies and IntolerancesCaterlink are committed to providing suitable meals for all children. Please ensure
that your child's allergy or dietary requirements have been registered at the school
office by completing Caterlink’s “Allergy and Intolerances Form” If you have any
questions about menus or queries relating to your child’s dietary requirements, you
can speak to the School Office or our Catering Regional Operations Manager, Neil
