Catering
All our school meals are exceptional, freshly prepared, healthy and nutritious and which the children enjoy eating.
Independent Catering will provide school lunches to our school. Dishes are freshly prepared daily in our school kitchen. We encourage all parents to get the children to try school meals, the menu is varied and exciting and the older children greatly enjoy helping the younger ones with cutting up and choosing.
Our current school lunch menu can be found here Independent Catering Menu
