Dear Parents/Carers,

From October 31st the schools catering provider will change from Autograph to Chartwells. You can read more about this change below. You can view the latest menus by click here.

We are incredibly excited that Chartwells has been chosen as the caterer for the school your child attends and we can’t wait to get going.

Chartwells is one of the UK’s largest education sector caterers. We cultivate a love of fantastic food through exceptional catering services, brought to life by passionate, value-driven teams. Every day, we connect thousands of pupils and students across the UK to wholesome food and memorable moments, with school food catering that inspires healthy, sustainable behaviours.

We believe that the key to fuelling young minds comes from understanding both what they need and what they enjoy, which is why we develop nutritious and delicious food that students love, alongside helping to ensure a healthy body and mind.

We’re committed to making nutritional food accessible to every student, which is a core value of our fantastic teams across every school we work in. We create menus that are delicious, seasonal, and healthy, using carefully selected ingredients that we know students love to reduce waste and build a more sustainable world for our future generations.

We have added new dishes to the menu, while also retaining the current dishes that the students we’re serving know and love. All menus meet the nutritional guidance outlined in the School Food Standards.

Our team are at the very heart of everything we do. All current employees working in the school kitchen and catering team have been offered a role within the new contract.

Our focus is to invest in the local community and provide enrichening experiences. Part of this focus sees us deliver our award-winning Beyond the Chartwells Kitchen workshops, which are focused around five core themes: Nutrition and Health, Cooking and Food, Mental Wellbeing, Sports and Exercise, and Sustainability.

The safety of every student we serve is paramount. That’s why we operate an industry-leading allergens process, clearly signposting the presence of allergens in every item on our menu. This gives students managing allergens the ability to make decisions with absolute confidence.
