Catering Across Chingford Academies Trust
Chingford Academies Trust works with a single catering partner across our schools to ensure a consistent, high-quality food offer for all students. Our approach to school catering prioritises nutrition, choice, and inclusivity, supporting students’ health, wellbeing, and ability to learn.
Our Catering Partner
We are proud to partner with Olive Dining, who provide freshly prepared meals each day across our schools. All menus meet national school food standards and are designed to offer balanced, nutritious meals that appeal to a wide range of tastes.
Vegetarian, vegan, and allergy-aware options are available daily, and dietary requirements are carefully managed in line with school procedures.
Menus and Meal Options
Students across the Trust benefit from rotating menus that include a combination of hot meals and lighter options. These typically include:
-
A daily hot meal
-
Cold options such as sandwiches, baguettes, and salads
-
Fresh fruit and yoghurt pots
Menus are reviewed regularly to ensure variety, quality, and nutritional balance.
Pricing and Free School Meals
The price of the meal of the day, including free school meal entitlement, is £2.65. Free School Meals are provided in line with national eligibility criteria.
Healthy School Commitment
As a Trust, we are committed to promoting healthy lifestyles. Our catering provision adheres to high nutritional standards and supports positive eating habits across all age groups.
