Healthy Meals and Healthy Eating
Food For Life
If children eat better, they feel better, play better and work better. At Great Meols Primary School our healthy eating policy is carefully designed to ensure all children enjoy access to a nutritional and carefully balanced diet whilst on school premises.
Our suppliers – Hutchison Catering, have the following approach:
Our Food Explorers concept is designed to link nutritious fresh food with fun learning around the farm to fork journey. Our Food Explorer events are planned through out the academic year providing interactivity with new flavour discoveries, healthy eating and worldwide food facts. Designed to engage all stakeholders and drive meal up take we focus on assisting advancement of food education that can be a great value-added tool for lesson plans all at the centre of the Hutchison Catering offer.
Nutrition is at the heart of the menus that we develop at Hutchison Catering. We wholeheartedly aim to provide a balanced diet that is not only nutritious but also engaging with our young customers. We can deliver Food for Life accreditations across schools and Multi Academy Trusts whether this is Bronze, Silver or Gold; we will meet your needs. This means all our meat is Red Tractor, all our fish is sourced from sustainable sources in line with MSC guidelines, eggs are free range, fruit and vegetables come from LEAF accredited suppliers and we also use Fairtrade products wherever possible.
