Food Standards

As a school we are legally required to provide meals that comply with the School Food Standards. These are intended to ensure that children get the nutrition they need across the whole day. They govern all food and drink on offer within the school and apply across the school day, including breakfast, mid-morning break, lunchtime and food served after school.

• The focus of Edwards and Ward’s menu development is on quality and variety, they are designed to be attractive and appetising.
• Having feedback from pupils throughout their time at school is essential in helping Edwards and Ward to understand their likes and dislikes whilst maintaining a focus on encouraging, educating and promoting their food.
