Catering
When you're a busy, growing pupil, food is an incredibly important part of the day. One of the most frequently asked questions at our Open Days is 'What is the food like?'.
Our recently refurbished Senior School Dining Room offers a bright, spacious, and welcoming environment designed to enhance the dining experience for students. Our caterers, Holroyd Howe work exclusively with independent schools to offer a fresh and sustainable food service that's uniquely tailored to meet the needs of the School. They provide breakfast, lunch and breaktime snacks for pupils and staff.
Breakfast is served daily from 7.45 am to 8.30 am in both Prep and Senior dining areas.
Menus
W/C 30 June 2025 - Week 1
Prep
Our updated Woodland Café is a vibrant and welcoming space for Prep students to enjoy lunchtimes with their friends. 
Sixth Form
Our Sixth Formers enjoy their own dining room and the Atrium Café in the Sixth Form Centre, which serves hot drinks, pastries, and snacks.
Try something different
Students are encouraged to try different foods, such as European Languages Week, when Spanish, Greek and Italian tasting tables complement the main menu. At Prep School, pupils find out about fruits and vegetables from around the world as part of culture day.

A sustainable diet ensures that what we have now is available for future generations using the Earth's resources responsibly while supporting us to eat more healthily.
