Catering
The catering at our school is provided by Aspens, a highly experienced catering provider for the education sector. They provide a wide range of tasty meals, refreshments, and snacks for our students whilst raising awareness around nutrition and mindful eating.
Deli Kitchen
The Deli Kitchen brand is for the popular standard Aspens hot and cold offers. This can range from Authentic Italian pizza and pasta, Hacienda Mexicana’s burritos, rice pots and sides and Voulez Poulet’s house rub chicken, dogs and sides through to our range of healthy sandwiches, paninis, wraps, jacket potatoes, salads, fruit and cold dessert pots.
Streateries
Streateries is the secondary meal offer where every day has a theme. Featuring Global cuisines, customised offers and food on the move, they are bang up to date with the current trends whilst still ensuring that there is a place on the menu for the comfort of our familiar school dining hall favourites. Each day the menu includes as standard a street food dish, a hand held version, vegetarian/vegan choices along with a selection of sides.

Nutritional Information
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.
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.

- Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance
- Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
