Here at St Neot’s, food is much more than simply something on a plate. It’s an opportunity to discover new flavours, to learn where our food comes from and to develop healthy habits that can last a lifetime.

To enjoy food and the act of eating is to understand that they are far more than basic functions to exist. We encourage our pupils to appreciate that:

• to eat is to grow

• to eat is generate the fuel for lessons and sport and

• to eat is to come together.

Chef Manager Vicky and her team create a varied and balanced offer, whilst hopefully developing a curiosity within the pupils to try something different. You don’t have to love everything you try. Sometimes the fun is simply saying, “I’ve never tasted that before – let’s see what I think”.

Food – which has been lovingly prepared, cooked with care and served with kindness – is the ‘glue’ that creates those social opportunities in the middle of a busy school day. To sit with your classmates and enjoy each others company as well as a tasty lunch is a skill for life. Working with a Nutritional Therapist, we have an offer which is well-balanced, nutritious and delivers fuel for fun and learning.

Menus are sent weekly, on Fridays to parents as part of Neot’s News.
