Just as children are laying the foundations for a life of learning and rich experience, they are also taking early steps towards a healthy mind and body. This is where food plays an essential role.

Our catering providers bring the fun and excitement of food to our youngest children. Colours, textures and taste are there to be explored and enjoyed. There is always something on the menu for each child to enjoy.

Our providers supply nutritious and balanced meals with varying menus which change each term. We strive to provide tasty and nutritious meals whilst impacting the environment as little as possible.

Our kitchens minimise the use of single-use plastics in the storage, perperation and serving of food.

Drinking water is freely available and children are encouraged to bring in reusable bottles.

Alongside the work we do to reduce single-use plastics across the business, we also recycle our food waste into green energy through ReFood.

At Eastborough Primary Academy, we are proud to help our children build healthy habits that last a lifetime. We encourage all pupils to eat balanced meals and stay active every day. To support this, children are not allowed to bring chocolate bars or fizzy drinks in their packed lunches, and water is the only drink permitted in water bottles. We are also a nut-free school, so nut products are not allowed in order to keep everyone safe. Children in EYFS and Key Stage 1 are provided with a piece of fruit each day as a healthy snack, and our Key Stage 2 pupils can buy fresh fruit from our tuck shop. By working together with parents, we can make sure every child at Eastborough Primary Academy grows, learns and thrives in a healthy environment.
