Prep School Boarding & Day Healthy Eating

Healthy Eating

The Clayesmore catering arrangements are exceptional and are managed by our own team of catering staff. A very wide range of food is provided at all meals. At breakfast, in addition to a range of cereals, toast, milk, juices, tea, coffee and hot chocolate, a cooked meal is served. Lunch is almost a festival of nutrition all in its own right! There is always a choice of the main course hot dishes – which might include a traditional roast, a curry, fish pie, chicken fajitas, for example, or ricotta and spinach strudel, stuffed peppers, or broccoli divan as vegetarian options with a full range of freshly prepared vegetable or side salads. There is also a hot snack bar and a salad bar where up to five or six main course salads are served every day together with a range of 12 or so side salads. Puddings range from traditional crumbles and pies through to yoghurts and there is always a range of fresh fruit on hand. In mid-afternoon the Prep School are all served with a bun and supper follows at 5.30pm. Again, this is another cooked meal supplemented with plenty of fresh fruit.

Senior Prep School children will usually be offered a hot drink and some toast later in the evening after prep. Children are discouraged from bringing sweets into school but they may buy chocolate from the school tuck shop twice a week.
