Our dining service sits at the heart of the school day. It is a family-dining experience that allows children of all ages to come together to enjoy a high-quality meal, expertly cooked by one of our fully qualified chefs. Our whole-school food culture promotes neighbourliness and community spirit, we find that this is great way for children to develop essential social skills that are rooted in friendship, respect and kindness.
A Family Dining Experience
We have reduced the cost of a school meal by means of an upfront payment covering each day in a half or whole term. A school dinner can be purchased for the reduced cost of £1.60 per day rather than the average cost of £2.50 in other schools. This is a saving of £4.50 a week or £171 over the school year! This is only financially viable if enough families sign up.
These meals are prepared by our fully-qualified chefs Steve Hodge, Steven Barlow (BCPS) and Paul Christian (WCPS/MCPS), all of whom have many years of experience in the catering industry.
