School Meals

We are delighted to announce that as a Trust we have been able to appoint a new Catering company, Aspens, to provide school meals across all of our Trust Schools starting after the Easter break. Their first date of food service is 22nd April 2025.

We all recognise the importance of school lunches for our children and that the food our children eat plays a crucial role in their wellbeing. As a Trust, we wanted to work with a catering provider who shared the same values and ethos as we do; and the fundamental understanding that providing our children with healthy, delicious meals is not only part of a balanced diet but will set them on the right track for later in life. Aspens will be providing high quality, nutritious, fun, and interesting food for all of our children.

We are delighted that our catering staff will remain working at each school, and they will now have the support and help from a wide range of new colleagues from Aspens.

We’re thrilled to be working with Aspens, experts who are solely based in school catering who prepare a range of delicious, nutritious dishes every day, using quality, fresh and seasonal ingredients.  Their meals were taste-tested by a panel of experts– our students!- who were enthusiastic and highly-complimentary about the dishes they received.

Additional information from Aspens:

Allergies

We’re passionate about food and our meals are made with high quality ingredients and we do our best to cater for students with food allergies. However, we cannot guarantee an environment completely free from allergens, so traces of some ingredients may still be present in our meals.

If your child has a severe food allergy, please talk to our staff about the allergy and ask for more information about the allergens in your meal. We will try to accommodate any reasonable request.

Special Diets

Special diets are an integral part of our catering provision, whether as a result of an ethical or religious belief or a food intolerance or allergy.  To register any special diets as a requirement please complete and return the special diets form to the school as soon as possible.

Our Planet

We work closely with our clients and suppliers to be as environmentally friendly as we can. By making lots of small changes, we can make a big difference. We care about the future and continue to focus on responsible sourcing, using seasonal produce, increasing our focus on plant-based recipes, making our menus more sustainable, keeping waste to a minimum and reusing and recycling to reduce the impact we have.
