School Food
We place great importance on offering tasty, nutritious lunches and playtime snacks for all our pupils. Our award-winning catering partner, Thomas Franks, provides an imaginative, weekly changing menu using locally sourced, fresh ingredients.
All pupils eat the school lunch provided by Thomas Franks. We cater for pupils with allergies, food intolerances and special diets. The cost of lunches is covered by the termly school fee.
We cater for all diets and allergies and believe it is important that all our pupils share the lunchtime experience alongside their classmates. With this in mind, we do not permit packed lunches, except in exceptional circumstances.
