Our Approach
Our priority in this environment is to arrive at a balanced portfolio of offers that meets both the demand for high street comparable food while maintaining government standards and school food plan policy.
Encouraging Healthy eating
We put great emphasis on training our colleagues to understand health and education outcomes and be proactive in educating pupils in healthy eating and encouraging them to try new foods.
Through interactive dining experiences, themed days, and tailored menus, we make healthy choices appealing and accessible. Our goal is to support lifelong good habits by making nutritious food enjoyable, familiar, and part of a positive school experience.
High Standards
The Department of Education’s School Food Standards, which came into force at the start of 2015, are designed to ensure caterers help children to eat well at school by providing menus that are interesting, creative and nutritionally balanced.
Our menus meet all the requirements of the School Food Standards and are also planned using the principles of the government’s healthy eating guidance.
Investing in Technology
At many of our secondary schools, we have invested in technology that encourages pupils to choose their own lunch, reducing the need for cash, increasing service efficiency and reducing food wastage.
These systems not only streamline the dining experience but also allow for better menu planning and data tracking, helping us respond more effectively to students’ preferences and dietary needs while supporting sustainability goals.
