Home > School Life > Healthy Eating

Holyrod Howe cooks fresh school lunches every day and each year group eats in our school dining room.

Dina always provides a vegetarian option, a side dish and a salad bar. The children also have the choice of a low-sugar dessert or fresh fruit. All food is nut-free and caters to children with varying dietary requirements.

The children also enjoy themed cuisine days for special occasions such as Lunar New Year, St Patrick’s Day, and national food days.

During the Summer Term, the cuisine reflects the Geography focused curriculum providing food from countries around the world. For the majority of our children, lunch time truly is the highlight of their day!
