School Meals
We believe it is really important that children have a healthy, nutritious and tasty meal at lunchtime. There is lots of research showing that a balanced school dinner can help concentration levels in lessons, and develop long term healthy eating habits.
Our children enjoy healthy schools dinners prepared on the premises by Aspens Services, who work to current health and safety, and food hygiene regulations. For more information please see the Aspen Services website.
