Pro-Veg School Plates Bronze Award
We are delighted to be awarded with a School Plates Bronze Award. Here is what our Trust Catering Manager says:
After extensive work with our Eco Warriors across our Trust working towards our mission to become more sustainable, I am delighted to share with you that we have achieved a Bronze school plates award for our Heatherbrook menu. This means that we are actively promoting more dishes that are inclusive for all our students and are more sustainable as they contain less meat, but still enjoyable. It is a nationally recognised award with the backing of Pro Veg and we are super proud to achieve it after working on it for the last 12 months. The importance of pupils eating a healthy meal every day is so important to me and the Trust, and so if there is any feedback about any dishes or any of the catering provision in general, do please share this with me and the team at Heatherbrook.
Mission
- To provide healthy, well-balanced meals at an affordable price.
- We recognise that students learn better and concentrate if they have eaten well, and believe that every student deserves good food, produced in our very own catering kitchens on site.
- Get the day off to a good start - all of our Academies offer a free breakfast club so that no student starts the day hungry.
Menus
All dine@ menus are individually created, taking into consideration age ranges and demographics of the school catchment area – with some of the most popular dishes appearing on all 5 of our menus Trust-wide. We can provide a full nutritional analysis of our meals and specify the allergens found within our dishes.
We care about the environment and sustainability is really important to us.
We offer locally produced seasonal produce where possible and have also introduced more plant-based options. These options are more readily acceptable for different diets and cultures and therefore are more widely suitable.
At dine@Heatherbrook, we value the student voice. We are happy to try out suggestions and welcome any feedback through the student council. Please get in touch with us at dine@lwlat.org.uk.
Regular theme days are celebrated by dine@, which has included a range of flavours: Chinese New Year, Mexican, Polish and Diwali.
