Coombs Catering Partnership recognises the importance of offering healthy and nutritious school meals to educate our future generations to live a better life. Our tailored approach will make a REAL difference to the children and the future of the school.

We will be an active support function to the school and our bespoke approach ensures we take the problems away from the school whilst working alongside them to maximise the best possible uptake.
Our ideas and enthusiasm will go much further than just providing a school lunch.

Pupils in EYFS and Key Stage 1 are entitled to Universal Infant Free School Meals which allows them to have a daily school dinner for free. Parents may still choose to send their child with a packed lunch if they wish.

PACKED LUNCHES

Children need encouragement from all of us to be as independent as possible when eating lunch:

• Can they manage to open the packages, pots and cartons?
• Do they know where to put the rubbish?
• Can they close the flask tight so it does not leak?

Parents are responsible for lunch boxes and should put the box in the child’s class trolley in the morning.  They can be collected from the trolley at the end of the day.

Remind your child to;

• Throw away uneaten food and packaging at lunchtime.
• Bring home unopened food

Food must be sent in a secure, labelled lunch box.

We are aware that children experiment and try out new dishes. The lunchtime supervisors and kitchen staff will encourage them to choose a balanced meal and then try everything they have picked, but they do not insist that everything on the plate is eaten up.

Children are also encouraged to be independent when they are:

• Cutting up their food
• Managing knives and forks
• Disposing of left-overs in the right place

Our lunchtime supervisors will help your child throughout the meal, but if you feel that your child has not yet developed these skills, perhaps you could practise at home.

We are a NUT FREE SCHOOL – Nuts are NOT allowed as they can cause severe allergic reactions in some children and are easy to choke on.

As a health-promoting school we encourage children to develop healthy lifestyles and choices.

Here at Coombs our vision is to build a reputation as the best small contract catering company providing a refreshingly different level of personal client service. Satisfying our clients needs is not enough; we aim to exceed them at all times ensuring that every client knows that they will receive nothing but the very best service, every day.

Customer, client and staff enjoyment is paramount whilst working within a safe and healthy environment. We also aim to source sustainable products and initiating schemes concerning waste management and recycling.
