Sustainability initiatives
Sourcing our ingredients locally, we save food miles while retaining peak freshness. Our menus incorporate in-season produce. With free-range eggs, British Red Tractor-certified meat and MSC-certified fish, we choose ethical and sustainable suppliers. We’re committed to carbon neutrality by 2025 and reducing 90% of greenhouse gas emissions by 2045 with targets vetted by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). We’re constantly seeking new ways to promote healthy eating and our chef-led workshops engage children throughout the academic year.

Allergen management
Our teams work with schools to accurately identify children with special dietary needs with vegetarian/vegan options and halal meat. We’ve made meal pre-ordering easy with School Food United, our online system for parents to safely and conveniently order school meals for primary school children.
