CCC Catering Service

All food in schools must meet nutritional standards so that children have healthy, balanced diets. At CCC our canteen offers a fantastic quality food service. All food is prepared from fresh ingredients wherever possible by a highly dedicated team of in house caterers. To develop and enhance our food service going
forward we are now working with Educatering, a branch of Goosemoor Foodservice Ltd.

The daily choices include a cooked meal option, hot grab & go options, sandwiches, wraps & baguettes, pasta and a salad bar. There is also a range of home bakes, a fruit salad bar and individual items of fruit available for students to purchase.

The 3 week Autumn Term 2024 menu is available here and current prices are;

All our service meets the healthy eating standards: there will be high-quality meat, poultry or oily fish and at least 2 portions of fruit and vegetables available with every meal. There will not be crisps, chocolate or sweets available ito purcahse in the canteen or in vending machines.

The canteen operates a cashless till system which has proven to be highly popular with students, staff and parents. Currently, students are provided with a lunchcard, which can be preloaded with credit by parents / carers. For students receiving Free School Meals, their lunch card updates daily with their allowance. We moved to a biometric system in September 2023, this allows all students to purchase their food using their thumbprint only.

Students are requested to bring a full water bottle to school every day: fizzy drinks and energy drinks are not allowed. All students sit to eat in the main hall or the canteen. Students should not take food out of these areas. 

Please go to our Free School Meals page for further information regarding qualifying benefits and how to claim.
