Catering Costs

Fri 29 Aug 2025
Dear Parents and Carers

We have been in a price freeze with many of our food options since 2024, whilst many other schools and food providers have increased the costs due to:

  • the increased National Insurance contribution;
  • the increased price of gas and electricity;
  • the increased price of food and associated products.

We kept the freeze in place whilst we transferred to our own in-house catering where we have a wider range and what we believe to be a better quality of product.  Mr Huby (Catering Manager) and the Catering Team have been working hard to ensure students' dietary needs are met, they hear their voice in the selection of food we have and the product is good quality.  As we are now more stable we will move away from this freeze.  As of September 2025 prices will come in line with the majority of other schools.  Individual prices have increased and the cost of a Meal Deal is now £2.80.

We fully understand that these types of communication are never welcome, however we hope you understand this decision has not been taken lightly, but is a necessity for us to continue to offer the very best service.  Thank you for your continued support, we look forward to working with you moving forward. 

Your faithfully

Michelle Colledge-Smith
