Catering

 

Sixth Form students have access to their own cafeteria which provides meals and snacks, (eg coffee and croissants in the morning) but they also have the choice of eating in the main school dining hall. If they have a Private Study period just before the lunch hour they can get ahead of the crowd and take an early lunch there on their own.

 

Quite recently the school catering was upgraded: fresh ingredients and healthy eating are key considerations and most of the wide range of dishes are freshly cooked on site, minimising the use of "industrially produced" food.

 

The choice is excellent, as can be seen from the following samples:
