Catering

The Government standards for school meals deliver a comprehensive set of guidelines for all caterers and providers of food in primary, secondary and other schools. This is called "white paper on school nutrition" and is something that every school now has to look and adhere to in more detail. Here at Huntington we are transforming school lunches to give pupils a healthier but also satisfying meal in keeping with these guidelines. The government are to introduce nutrient based standards and legislation in September 2009 to help your children receive the required levels. Our approach to changing lunches and other times the pupils can purchase foods will, I'm hoping, make it something they will enjoy as well as achieving government standards.

Catering
For some pupils a school lunch is the main meal of the day. So it is our concern that our menus and choices contain sufficient energy and micronutrients to promote good nutritional health for all pupils, and protect the ones that are nutritionally vulnerable. This group includes those who are at risk of micronutrient deficiencies, those who are underweight and those who are overweight.
