In collaboration with our catering company, Thomas Franks , Falcons School promotes healthy eating. Meat and vegetables used by the catering staff in food preparation are sourced from local suppliers wherever possible. The catering department issues a lunch menu at the start of each term and a weekly menu is displayed outside the dining room. Themed lunches are often introduced such as food from around the world.
Lunchtimes are on a rolling lunch basis with the younger pupils eating first and attended by staff members to help them. Lunch begins at 12:05pm and lasts until 1:05pm, with staggered time slots according to year group.
A healthy snack is provided for all pupils every morning break time. Those staying for afterschool clubs and care will also have a snack in the afternoon. No snacks will need to be provided by parents.
Drinking plenty of water enhances learning. Pupils will be provided with a water bottle which will be refreshed daily by the learning assistants. We also have water fountains in the playgrounds for the pupils to drink from.
Special attention is paid to allergies and food intolerances, religious restrictions and medical conditions such as diabetes. We ensure each child’s needs are meticulously met, with coloured name tags and plates in the lunch hall and clear labels on packed lunches. We are a nut-free school.
