School Dinners and Nutrition

The catering team provide healthy, nutritious and most importantly tasty food for pupils at Fiveways School. The team take great pride in providing a variety of food throughout the week to meet pupil’s individual needs, including different fruits, vegetables, grains, pulses and different types of meat and fish. When necessary the menu can be adapted to allow for pupil’s who need dry or blended foods or have other dietary requirements. All meals are made on site in Fiveways’ own kitchen with fresh, sustainable ingredients that are locally sourced where possible. They are trained in allergen management and follow Government nutritional standards.

Pupils are encouraged to take an active role in the lunchtime routine, helping with the menus. Menus are displayed in picture, symbol and written form to allow pupil’s to clearly understand what is for dinner each day. Sam takes time to work with pupils, gathering feedback about their likes and dislikes. At Fiveways we believe that lunch time and the consumption of food is an important learning experience that should be an enjoyable and engaging time to share with friends and staff. Pupils are encouraged to become as independent as possible and where appropriate to help others by setting tables, collecting equipment and clearing and cleaning after dinner.

Pupils are encouraged to take part in making meal choices for themselves, by using the pupil friendly school dinner menu. Members of the Student Council also makes some dinner menu choices on behalf of the school.
