School Meals

Padgate Academy, working partnership with Harrisons, provide a healthy nutritious school meals to our students, which is compliant with the food and nutrient standards set by the Government's Healthy Eating in Schools Nutritional Standards and Requirements.

Research has shown that children who consume a healthy balanced lunchtime meal show improved concentration and memory.  We have modified recipes to reduce the sugar, salt and fat content and increase protein, carbohydrates, fibre, zinc, iron, folate, calcium and Vitamins A and C.

All kitchen staff are trained in accordance with the legislative requirements associated with catering procedures, to certify that food is prepared in a protected environment.  Our catering team team offers a great range of healthy, seasonal, traditional and continental style cuisines and affordable meals for students during these dining periods. 

We welcome menu suggestions and all feedback from parents or carers.   We encourage you to keep up to date with the latest catering information and menu choices, which will appear on the page below.

In addition to the menu items and set meal choices listed below, our catering team also offer seasonal special items, which are advertised within school, when available.
