Food

At St. Francis’ College, students are extremely well looked after by our dedicated Catering Team who are passionate about making fresh and nutritious food. Our food is all prepared onsite, is nutritionally balanced and wherever possible, seasonal.

School menus are created with input from staff and students via the School Council. As well as providing vegan and vegetarian options, our chefs can provide varied and balanced choices for other special dietary requirements including, but not limited to, coeliac, diabetic, lactose intolerant and low cholesterol.

All year groups take their meals in the newly refurbished Dining Room, which is located at the heart of the Broadway building. This light, airy room is the perfect place to relax and enjoy good food. The professional service station allows students to choose from the wide variety of food on offer. Year 11s may eat in their Common Room if they choose a Grab & Go food option.

We believe that mealtimes are an important learning opportunity as well as being a time to gather as a school community. Our Prep pupils have their cooked lunch in the College Dining Room where we actively encourage them to try new food, support them in learning to use cutlery and socialise at the table with staff who eat alongside them. A light tea of sandwiches and fruit is provided for children staying between 4pm and 5pm in Afternoon School Club.

The Sixth Form students benefit from their own café run by the College’s catering staff. Every morning break the Sixth Formers can buy a selection of freshly baked cakes and biscuits alongside a range of high-quality hot drinks, as well as vending snack options. It is the perfect informal atmosphere for the students to relax in.
