Catering

At Aldborough we have a brand new kitchen in which lunches are cooked fresh daily, providing nutritionally balanced food and a varied menu. We tailor our menus to the students’ needs and continue to discuss menu options with them. Our three weekly lunch menu cycle includes:

  • meat (halal) or fish
  • vegetarian choices
  • salad bar
  • variety of desserts both hot and chilled

At lunchtime we offer a variety of meal deals, that incorporate a variety of dishes and can include a drink or dessert of the day. The meal deal costs children £2.40

As your children spend much of their time in school, they need nutritious food for long-term good health. A healthy, balanced diet also helps your child learn in the classroom and leads to improved educational outcomes.

According to World Health Organisation, nearly one-fifth of the world’s children and youth are overweight or obese. In the UK we are seeing a steady increase of overweight children. We need to start raising awareness of this issue when children are young so that they will learn to eat healthy very early on, because habits are set in childhood. They are capable of understanding the effects of food on the body and make smart choices about nutritious foods.

Meals are freshly cooked each day using seasonal ingredients offering a varied menu of family favourites along with one off days where students are encouraged to try something new.
