Catering

We understand the importance of good, healthy food to your child’s wellbeing and regard mealtimes as an integral part of their education.

Prep School Menus

Our dedicated Prep catering team, led by Sue McIntosh, aims to provide a range of tasty, nutritious meals offering a huge variety of choice and opportunities to try new flavours and combinations. All the food is cooked in-house, using local and organic produce where possible.

Pupils are encouraged to make their own choices and the children from Year 1 onwards are able to serve themselves from the various options on offer. There is always a range of meals to accommodate individual tastes. In addition to the main meal options, there are baked potatoes with a topping or pasta with a sauce and an extensive salad bar. The staff are also more than happy to cater for any special dietary requirements by arrangement with parents.

Our menus have all been approved by a nutritionist to ensure healthy combinations. The children can clearly see the various food groups on offer in order to make their choices. There is always a ‘world’ option on Tuesday where a range of new and exciting flavours can be sampled; there are traditional options on Thursday as well as roasts on Wednesday. Fish Friday is a popular option and main meals are always complemented by fresh vegetables, salads and a hot or cold dessert.

Pupils have access to water throughout the day and squash is available at morning break, lunch and after school (prior to clubs starting), when snacks including fresh fruit are also served. Use the links below to see our current menus.

Pre-Prep pupils come across and eat their lunch in the dining hall. In keeping with our family atmosphere the children are seated at the same table each day. Years 1 and 2 are on mixed tables so they get to know children in the year above or below.

Developing Table Manners in Early Years

We encourage good manners, the correct use of a knife and fork and insist on a high standard of behaviour, as we feel this is a very important part of their social education.

Dietary Requirements

We can cater for specific dietary needs. Our catering staff are trained to cater for pupils with allergies and religious dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, and egg free. Please contact our Prep Support Services Manager on 01872 24312 or by email [email protected] if you have any concerns over your child’s allergies.

The Truro School Identity

Our school motto, Esse Quam Videri (to be, rather than to seem to be), captures the essence of our identity and is defined by the 5 C's below. Underpinned by strong Christian principles, we are a caring and inclusive community which values, nurtures and develops each individual.
