School Meals

Our school meals are freshly prepared on the premises by our catering team. We endeavour to make dining an enjoyable experience for our students and create a family atmosphere with staff and students dining together

The cost of school lunches is £2.35 per day.

If a non-boarding student stays behind after school for a club and requires tea then the cost is £2.35 per tea.

School Food Standards

Packed lunches

Only a small proportion of students have a packed lunch which says much about the food on offer. There is a no fizzy drinks policy in school.
