At Greenbank, we believe that eating well is essential for pupils to function at their best throughout the day and for their overall wellbeing. Our catering team, led by our talented Chef, is committed to providing a variety of delicious, nutritious meals that not only satisfy our pupils' appetites but also support their energy and focus for learning.
Lunch in the School Hall:
Children enjoy their lunches in the school hall, and enjoy their lunches at dining tables where they sit with their peers. This experience encourages social interaction, proper table manners, and independence as children are served their meals by staff.
Breakfast in the Classroom:
At breakfast, pupils are invited to serve themselves in the classroom, creating a relaxed environment where they can chat with their classmates before starting the school day. The children are also encouraged to take part in washing up after meals, teaching them responsibility and the importance of maintaining a clean environment.
We take special care to cater to pupils with food allergies and other dietary requirements. Our team is always available to discuss individual dietary needs or address any questions regarding food options. We strive to ensure that every child enjoys a balanced meal that suits their health needs.
With a strong focus on nutritious, wholesome meals, Chef and the team work hard to deliver a menu that encourages healthy eating while meeting the diverse tastes and needs of our pupils.
Our team is motivated and passionate about challenging traditional perceptions of school dining, ensuring every meal is not only nourishing but also exciting for children to look forward to. We welcome feedback from pupils and parents, continually seeking to improve and ensure our offerings are the best they can be.
We are proud to announce that our kitchen has achieved a 5-Star Food Hygiene Rating, ensuring that all meals are prepared in the most hygienic conditions. This top-tier rating reflects our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness and food safety.
Example Menus for Preschool are designed to provide well-balanced, age-appropriate meals that children enjoy. These include a variety of dishes, from fresh fruit and vegetables to whole grains and lean proteins.
