All of our dishes are verified by our nutrition and dietetics team to make sure we meet and often exceed nutritional standards set by the School Food Trust. Ultimately, we aim to provide children with a healthy, nutritious and delicious meal at lunchtime.
Our commitment to healthy eating in schools speaks for itself. But if proof of that commitment was needed, we won the 2010 Healthy Schools' Caterer Award for secondary schools.
And our commitment doesn't stop at catering. For example:
In 2008 and 2009 we ran cookery workshops at 60 primary and preparatory schools in support the Year of Food and Farming, teaching children about bread, where it comes from and its nutritional benefits as part of a balanced diet
We have produced a Facts and Fun booklet to help educate children about food groups, giving them a food diary to fill in, a healthy pizza recipe and information about wheat products
We have created a Funky Food game which includes 32 food fact cards to help children learn about the origin of different foods and their nutritional benefit
We have developed an initiative called The Story Kitchen, which uses five well-known children's stories with a cookery theme as a starting point from which to talk about different food groups and ingredients in a fun and informative way
These commitments are reflected by the food offers we develop for the education market. Click on the arrows below to expand details of our food offers within specific areas of the education market.



In primary schools, our offer, Club Joules, is linked to the curriculum. Children are given the opportunity to try different foods, learn about their countries or origin and historical events.
We also run competitions based on themes from the Eatwell plate and encourage children to eat fruit and vegetables, giving them special stickers if they eat all of their lunch.
We emphasise the social aspect of meal times, making food fun and use cartoon characters in our marketing material to encourage healthy eating.

Our offer for preparatory schools in the independent schools market is also linked to the curriculum and helps children understand the journey from farm to plate. Using cartoon characters, we help children to understand the importance of nutrition, exercise and hydration.

Our secondary school offer provides a large choice of dishes, the flexibility to grab and go, as well as catering for breakfast clubs and mid-morning breaks.
Our menus are refreshed every six months to meet changing trends, tastes and seasonality.
We provide a tailored offer to secondary schools in the independent market, which can be designed to meet the individual needs of our clients and customers.
For many of our customers in this market, lunch is their main meal of the day. As such, we develop menus that are not only sustaining and tasty, but meet the requirements of a healthy balanced diet.
