No. Transition Year students choose what they’d like directly at lunchtime, from a full range of hot and cold dishes served fresh each day.
Can you cater for allergies or special dietary requirements?
Absolutely. Every dish is clearly labelled with full allergen information, and halal and gluten-free options are available daily. If your child has specific needs, our team is happy to help.
Is the meal service the same on days with trips or work placements?
